Hi ~ Nerve damage isn't something you can "see" on an MRI or X-ray. It's usually diagnosed by the symptoms, i.e. burning & tingling, numbness, etc.
From the looks of your MRI, it looks like you have a disc that is protruding, plus perhaps some spinal stenosis. What does your doctor say?
I wish you the very best. Take care. Hugs, Lee
