General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

If you are asymptomatic and does not have any visible disfigurement, no intervention is required. You can also plan for an MRI to rule out possible nerve compression. Consult a spine surgeon for an expert opinion.

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

Take care
