Mri is report is not final . Need to take bed rest 1st and take medication as prescribed by orthopaedic surgeons. After getting some relief then start physiotherapy treatment and exercises . After all efforts needs to decide about surgery .
Health Tips

Yes , you can go for basic and advanced core strengthening exercises programme designed by physiotherapist. I am giving these programmes to all such patients and within one month , they are recovered . Even spine surgeons also going and refering for these programmes for one month before surgery.
