With that MRI report. And symptoms of pain in back with radiculopathy (shooting pain in leg)
Diagnosis : symptoms prolapse Posterior intervertebral disc
surgical treatment is indicated. Treatment of choice endoscopic disc surgery
Or laminotomy with micro-discetomy
Posterior decompression and descectomy are the options
With good prognosis.
