Here from your report you have given only one things diagnosed as L5 disc degeneration. Now here you need to understand disc degeneration happens due to excess stress on disc and damage can not be reverse but the progression of this can be stopped by taking different medication as well doing physio treatment. Also doing strengthening exercise as well stretching and twisting exercise for spinal muscles helps by increasing the spinal muscle stenght and stamina so there will be less pressure on disc when ever you do more of standing, sitting work. Here you should also take suggestion on ergonomics from physio which will again help you to work in a comfortable and much effective postures by giving minimum or no strain on your back muscles. The tablets you have mention is fine and will be helpful for your problem too. But physio treatment and exercise follow up is extremely important so do follow it. Take care.
