Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your history and MRI spine findings.

They suggest degeneration with bulging of discs at multiple levels in neck and lower back regions. However, they are minor abnormalities and would not require surgery, etc.

Treatment depends on the symptoms as well as the severity of MRI abnormalities.

If there is back pain and leg pain, medications such as pregabalin and gabapentin capsules would help.

Physiotherapy with back extension exercises would also be helpful.

I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.

Wishing you good health,
