Hello. Thanks for writing to us. Your symptoms and MRI findings are suggestive of a degenerative disease of the spine. The nerve root compression is causing the symptoms. Surgical treatment is recommended if there is a poor response to medical treatment. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
