I'm no doctor, but if that's ALL your MRI report says, I doubt any doctor would do surgery on you at this point. Your best bet would be physical therapy. Besides, surgery would NOT relieve all your pain. Usually after surgery you have the same pain or worse! Surgery is only for mechanical problems. It's NOT to relieve pain. So ask your doc to send you to physical therapy -- that's where you will probably get your best pain relief, along with medications.
Best of luck and God bless. Hugs, Lee
