Thank you for asking Healthcare majic.

My name is Dr Ehsan Ullah &
I have gone through your query.

As mentioned MRI report doesn't seems problematic.But we doctors treat the patient not the radiological findings...

i would like you to suggest to visit neurosurgeon along with this MRI image so that he can correlate clinically and decide wheter you need any further intervention or not...

Till then do avoid heavy weight lifting,bike riding,climbing stairs...




Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
