Treatment depends on the patient condition rather than the MRI reports as for a similar report some patients may have no symptoms while others may have a lot of problems.
Hence first step is a thorough examination so consult an orthopedic surgeon.
Having said that considering the age, there are a lot of options for pain management which do not have the risks associated with surgery while having significant benefits.
