The need is to treat your symptoms and not the MRI. Will you want a surgery for your such pain? Such finding on MRI will be there in almost 70-80% of population of your age. But all of them are not suffering.

Management does not depend on MRI only but more on your symptoms, do teleconsultation with me for detailed assessment and further management
