Hi, welcome and thanks for writing in.
There are degenerative changes in the form disc protrusion. Intervertebral disc is round in shape . As age advances it increases in its radius causing compression on nerve roots.
There small fracture of one of the part of L5 vertebra without any change in alignment of spine. You need do physiotherapy for your symptoms.
Regards.
