Dear Doc Rynne I Just Turned 60. Five Years Ago

Dear Doc Rynne
I just turned 60. Five years ago I have a back pain and had therapy. The xray says then says spur formation in my disc and muscle spam. For the last five years twice a week I am carrying a fruit and veg load of 10 kgs from market to house for food and to make it into juice for healthy lifestyle that sustain my wife from stage 4 renal cancer. Below is the MRI result

MRI and impression states :
1. Disc dehydration L2-L3 caudad to L5-S1 levels
2. Probable bone marrow edema, L5 vertebrae
3. Slight posterior listhesis, L5 over S1
4. Straightening of the normal lumbar lordosis probably due to muscle spasm.
5. Broad base disc protrusion is seen at L2-L3 level causing mild thecal sac indentation and mild to moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
6. Broad base disc protrusion is seen at L3-L4 level causing moderate thecal sac indentation and moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
7. Broad base disc protrusion is seen at L4-L5 level with associated ligamentum flavum hyperthropy causing moderate to severe central canal and severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing
8. Broad base disc protrusion is seen at L5-S1 level with associated igamentum flavum hyperthropy causing moderate central canal and severe bi;lateral neural forminal narrowing with probable discitis.
9. Multi level facet joint effusion.
