Can or do you think surgery is an option when my mri results say i have a dorsal annular tear and annular bulge at t8-9 and multi-level spondylosis without cord compromise and multi-level foraminal stenosis?

Probably not: This doesn't sound like a surgical diagnosis - especially with no nerve compression. With that being said, I'm sure you could find an orthopedic surgeon that would happily operate. Proceed with caution. Hope this helps.
