Hi... Should Try Conservative management. With rest and medications. Once pain reduces... Try back strengthening exercises. If pain very severe hampering daily activities and making it difficult to climb stairs / pain upon bending / difficult to get out of bed... Consult local orthopaedic surgeon for clinical evaluation and need for any intervention. Thank you.

Hi, by seeing ur age and MRI reports U can go with conservative management. 80-90 % it subsides with rest and pain killer medications itself. Take adequate rest, mediations as advised for doctor which includes a muscle relaxant. Nerve medication like Pregabalin/Gabapentin would help to reduce ur radiculopathy symptoms.
