Hi,
Thank you for posting the query.
First of all, I would like to let you know that questions posted in this public forum are answered free of cost. However, if you like a more detailed answer, then you can ask a question in the premium forum, where there are nominal charges.
Regarding the MRI, there are minor abnormalities, such as slipped disc causing pinching of nerves, which may lead to back and leg pain.
The treatment may include medications such as pregabalin, physiotherapy and epidural injections. The exact choice of treatment would depend on patients signs and symptoms.
Please get back if you require any additional information.

Best wishes,
