Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your MRI spine findings. However, the description is very non-specific. If possible, please upload the MRI report or the pictures. After that, we will be in a better position to answer your query.
The choice of treatment depends on the symptoms as well as the correct diagnosis.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
