Hello,
Your MRI suggests pinched nerves in the lower back due to disc prolapse. You can take gabapentin capsules for pain relief. Physiotherapy would also help a lot. Avoid lifting heavy weights and forward bending.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
