hello user,
The X-Ray of spine suggests degenerative narrowing of the disc space. This narrowing of space is causing compressions of the nerve, which is giving rise to pain on affected region.
The painkillers will ease your pain temporarily but the cure from medicine is rarely possible.The only cure is surgical correction of the vertebrae and might require some internal prosthesis to stablise the vertebra.

hope my info helped you
