The neck pain tolerable on some days and sometimes not.Also I have chronic lower backpain in the right corner of my back. It feels good if sombody massage the part
I have visited Orthopaedics 4 times for this. Three time they took x-ray of both upper back adn lower back. Told to do some physiotherapy.
I feel numbness and tingling in both my hands and legs. But not to the extent of hanmpering my daily work

In my recent visit orthopaedic spine specialist I got an MRI scan which read as follows

Changes of spondylosis with:
1. Right paracental disc osteophytic complex at C4-5 producing mild to moderate impression on thesal sac and adjacent nerve roots
2. Diffuse annular disc bulge at L5-S1 producing mild impression on thesal sac. No focal point compression

My doctor told me not to worry and nothing ubnormal. He just gave one muscle relaxant and forget that I have pain.
I just want to ask you guys does MRI suggest something bad.Do i need to consult a neuro spine specialist. If something is wrong
what can I do to stem the rot and prevent it from becomming something big problem
My main worry is the chronic paint my neck,shoulder blades, shoulder and lower back. Numbness and tingling is always present but
becomes more only on certain days.

Can you guys suggest me something for this based on my MRI scan report
