Hi Capt,
I'm not much help on MRIs or back problems..
basically I had a few questions pop into my head -

your age?
any idea of how these problems came about?
have you tried an expert chiropractor or osteopathic dr or
possibly even a expert/advanced spinal phys therapist specialist

I hope some that might know more about spinal MRIs & 'fixes" will pop in soon with some ideas for you.
