I have reviewed your MRI. It shows age-related wear and tear (cervical spondylosis) with disc bulges at multiple levels, which can certainly cause neck pain, stiffness, and cervicogenic headaches. The important reassuring finding is that there is no significant nerve root compression or spinal cord damage, although the canal is mildly narrowed, most notably at C3–C4.
At this stage, surgery is not indicated based on the MRI findings alone. Continue with physiotherapy, posture correction, neck strengthening exercises, and the medications prescribed by your doctor, as these are the mainstay of treatment. If you develop weakness, numbness, difficulty walking, or problems with hand function, you should seek a neurosurgical evaluation promptly. Otherwise, conservative treatment is expected to provide good symptom relief over time.
