You have hernial disc desease. It doesn't seem a surgery case for the neurochirurgy but you have to do a neurological examination, because not always what the MRI findings correlate with the clinic. So don't worry probably you have to take some AINS pills if you are in pain and exercisis with a physiotherapist for long term benefits.
