What Is About The Shearing Nerve On The Side Which Showed In The MRI?

Yes I am 80 yrs old and currently was dx with Bulging Disk, also I have a tarlov cyst on my S-2, and MRI shows some shearing of my nerve on the left side. Also it shows spinal stenosis. I am waiting for an appt. with the specialist, however I would like some information on this. So I have an idea of what to come...

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
This MRI report is not good.
Your shearing of nerve is due to spinal stenosis you are having.
Best treatment for this is surgical correction of this stenosis.
You should first try non surgical measures like physiotherapy, warm water pad application,
Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid sudden bending and change of posture. Loose weight if you are obese.
If you still don't improve with all these after 1 month then surgical correction of stenosis is needed.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
