Hi,
your MRI simply suggests that you have compression of your nerve by disc on left side. Initial treatment is muscle relaxants, gabapin, nortriptyline, hot massage and physiotherapist. If not relieved by these then you need surgical disc removal.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jaideep Gaver, Orthopedic Surgeon
