hi,

thank-you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical neuromuscular assessment is advised and correlation with the MRI is suggested.

As the MRI suggest you have schmorl's node, the Schmorl's nodes or Schmorl's nodules are protrusions of the cartilage of the intervertebral disc through the vertebral body endplate and into the adjacent vertebra.

So the levels involved in your case are T6, T7, T12 and L1. Based on the clinical signs and symptoms the treatment will be planned.
