General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

As per my surgical experience, primary relief with
- assisted physiotherapy
- local application of analgesic spray or ointment
- analgesic and anti inflammatory medications
- postural changes and adaptations
- control of body weight (if over weight)

Later on according to the MRI evaluation, decompression surgery may be a need of future part of management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Wishing you all the best.
