Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.You MRI findings gives an impression of intervertebral disc herniation and associated spondylotic changes.But nerve roots or cord is not compressed.In such case i advise initially with muscle relaxants like cyclobenzaprine NSAIDs like Aceclofenac and neurotropic drugs.I also recommend to do physiotherapy along with this.Using a soft cervical collar also will be helpful.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
I find this answer helpful
