Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

According to the MRI findings you've mentioned, I would think you would benefit from nerve root injections as the compression isn't progressed to a level that would need surgical intervention.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
