Hi,
The findings of MRI suggest spinal disc protusion along with nerve compression. Commonly called a disc bulge, a disc protrusion occurs with the spinal disc and the associated ligaments remain in tact, but form an outpouching that can press against the nerves.  It may need a surgical treatment for the decompression of the nerves otherwise it may lead to paralysis . Please consult a spine surgeon for the  the treatment plan . Hope this helps you . Take care and regards !
