Hi,
The MRI report shows the presence of a bulging intervertebral disc.
The bulging of the disc can be corrected by rest and painkillers.
Surgery may not be required initially, however, I suggest you consult your orthopedician for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
