Hello
Thanks for writing to us

According to report,you are suffering from degenerative disc disease of spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.

1.There is disc desiccation(means loss of water from intervertebral disc)with loss of disc height.Level of vertebra is not mentioned in the report.
2.There are also spondylotic changes with annular bulge and right posterolateral annular tear tear which is causing small disc herniation.

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.

Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.

Get well soon.
