I have gone through your question in detail and understand your concern.
Your mother's MRI is nearly normal except degerative changes at L5,S1 level.There is also protruded L5,S1 disc which is not of much significance as it is causing only indentation.
Diacerine and glucosamine are helpful in prevent and to some extent repair the degerative changes.
She should get her vitamin D3 level done and if it is low then its supplement can be taken.
You have not mentioned her symptoms further treatment depends on her symptoms.
You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it.
