According to report,you are suffering from degenerative disc disease of lumbar spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.Findings are early in your case.
1.At L5 level,there is disc bulge.Satus on nerve compression is not mentioned in your query.
Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.
There are also medicines like capsule pregabalin available for pain relief.
D3 rise tablets are vitamin D tablets.It can be taken empirically.However,ideally serum vitamin D3 level should be evaluated priorly.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.
Get well soon.
