Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor " service.

I have read your query.

Regarding the imaging study results, yours seems to be a mild to moderate condition.

This is confirmed by the symptoms too.

In such cases, NSAID drugs and physical therapy are indicated.

Hope this helps.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
