Hello,
Thank you for sharing your problem with me.
After going through your MRI report I find that you have disc bulge at various levels. The good news is that none of those disc bulges are pressing on the nerve, so you would get better with rest and medicines.
Don't worry too much about the MRI report as it is quite common to have finding like yours, they rarely cause much problem in the future. Once your initial pain comes down you should see a physiotherapist for spine exercises, which you should continue to practice at your home regularly.
Hope I have answered your query. I will be available for your follow up queries if any.
