Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your MRI findings.
The choice of treatment depends on the exact nature of symptoms and we need to correlate the MRI findings to those symptoms.
For you, the initial treatment would be with medications such as pregabalin capsules and physiotherapy.
If your pain does not subside, then, epidural injections may be given.
However, if your symptoms persist despite above treatment, you would require decompression surgery.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
