My MRI result is, small central & right paracentral disc protrusion at C4/C5 & C5/C6, but no significant central canal or neural foramen stenosis is demonstrated. Mild degenerative disc disease at C5/C6. Disc desiccation at C3/C4 & C4/C5. Osteodiscal protrusion at T12/L1 and mild annular disc bulge at L3/L4, L4/L5 & L5/S1. There is no significant neural foramen stenosis demonstrated on present study. Doctor, I m having mild numbness on my hand and mild pain on my wrist. Do I need a surgery, please need your doctor advice what to do, I really don t want to undergo surgery. Thank you.

Hello,
It may be due to nerve compression at cervical spine level.
For that you may require MRI neck after spine surgeon consultation.
For pain you can take tablet acetaminophen.
Do regular physical therapy.
You may require tablet Pregabalin and multivitamin after consultation
Hope I have answered your query..
Let me know if I can assist you further.
