Hello,

These MRI findings are suggestive of a disc herniation, which is causing a nerve compression to the sciatic nerve (which lies in your thigh and foot). In such case, you can try painkillers, resting and wearing a lumbar brace. If this tip does not help, consulting with a surgeon and discussing about surgery will be necessary.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
