Hello maisielobo

Thanks for posting your query

According to your MRI report , it seems you are suffering from disc degenerative ds and facet joint arthopathy.

Treatment can not be planed only on MRI findings, examination of your spine, neurological examination is essential.

It also depends on your age , activity level & severity of symptoms.
