Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Based on your MRI report, the abnormal findings are minor and there is no need to worry. Long-term treatment would consist of using pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. In addition, physiotherapy is also useful. Mobizox is good only in the short-term.
Please get back if you require any additional information.
