Hello,
These MRI findings are suggestive of a disc herniation, which is compressing your nerve root. For this reason, surgery or laser therapy would be the best treatment options. You can find neuro-surgeon on this site. Please ask a specialist query for a neuro-surgeon.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
