Hi Silver,

Im sure Lessa with decfier your MRI---is very good at breaking it down in simple terms.

I dont think it looks to bad at this point most concerning is kyphosis can be a sometimes hard to treat but your case is mild. Have your tried ESI(epidural steroid injections) it might help the herinations since they dont seem to be severe one it may help calm down inflamation and allow the disc to heal. I have alot of friends and family acheive success and avoid surgery.

There in minmal procedure called lamintomy & foraminotomy that may hep with the stensis and relief myelomalacia, only if the prob is stemming from the stenosis. Usually done out patient and you home same day very quick and easy recovery for most and might help avoid fusion down the line. I think because your young I would try to be as proactive as possible. Always get 2 or 3 consults when it comes to the spine. Best wishes!!!!!
