Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I wish to reassure you that your MRI findings are minor and there is no need to worry.
For treatment, physiotherapy is the most important. You should do neck extension exercises twice daily, at least for ten minutes each time. You can learn them under the supervision of a physiotherapist.
Medications for pain relief in this case are pregabalin or gabapentin capsules.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
