Dear Tushar,
Above MRI reveals some degenerative changes in spine and no compression in this MRI view. I’d request you to post others MRI pictures. Importantly as per reports there is foraminal stenosis on right side but you have symptoms on the left, hence a through clinical examination and radiological interpretation has to be made by doctor for prognosis. Currently you are doing right thing with precaution and physio and should also be doing it in future but those are not the solution of disc condition or foraminal stenosis.
Next Steps
Clinical examination and radiological interpretation
Health Tips
Continue precaution and strengthening of lumbar pata spinal muscles
