Brief Answer:
Start treatment as stated above

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
In my opinion, you start pain killers, muscle relaxant and avoid putting weight ( use of a stick ) for 2-3 weeks.

If no improvement, then reinvestigate with blood tests like blood counts(TLC, DLC) and repeat MRI,

Let me know if I could assist further.
Thanks
