Hello,

There is mild disc bulging with a tear in the disc. Generally, it can be managed conservatively with analgesics and physiotherapy. If the symptoms are severe, you can consult a neurologist and get evaluated.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
