Hi Truth, Thank you for posting your query. I have gone through your MRI reports. I would like to point out that this disease is fully treatable. However, we need to know your symptoms, and examination findings, before suggesting the best treatment option for you. Usual treatments for disc prolapse include physiotherapy, medications such as pregabalin, epidural injections, and in some cases, surgery. Please get back if you require any more information. Best wishes, Chat Doctor.
