Mild disc bulge is seen according to your MRI. But there is no significant nerve root compression. Loss of normal lumbar lordosis is seen. So can be treated conservatively.
Next Steps
Avoid using pillow while sleeping. Instead roll a towel or bed sheet and keep under your neck. Avoid movements of bending the neck Take the following medicines T. Zerodol P 1-0-1 T. Pan 40 mg 1-0-0 for 5 days T. Pregaba M 75 mg 0-0-1 for 15 days
