Insufficient information, complete patient history not available.
Doctors always treat the patient, and not an MRI.
More than severity on MRI, I am interested in how severe is your pain and other complaints. If you can walk around pain free at home, you can travel. Otherwise not.
Next Steps
Avoid exertion.
