Hi,

Considering your MRI findings, you are getting proper medication. Also, after relief, the slightest of weight-bearing is giving you symptoms.

In my view, you should give a short trial for medication with physiotherapy along with calcium, but vitamin D & B12 supplements. It gives good results.

If not think of surgical treatment. Be in touch with your orthopedic surgeon.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
