Hi..bharath.., the above reports of the x ray shows that, there is fusion of the 5th lumbar vertebra with sacrum.. hence there will be compression of the spinal cord in the vertebral canal..
also there will be compression of the nerve roots.. hence there is pain..
surgery is the treatment of choice...

Take care..
