Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and MRI report.
Inflammation around c4-c5 disc will not lead to neck swelling.
Disc will lead to radicular pain in arm.
Your lumbar MRI SHOWS CANAL STENOSIS which may lead to lower limb symptoms.
For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic like pregabalin medication can be started consulting your doctor.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
If required you may need MRI cervical spine for detail diagnosis.
