Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.

These lesions found in CT are derived from both your age and repeated trauma.

At this point, treatment consists on rest when symptoms are severe, warm procedures on your back, avoiding wheight lifting, NSAID drugs and physical therapy.

These measures should improve your symptoms.

For NSAID treatment, you should consult your primary care Doctor.

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
