What Causes Lower Back Pain And Sciatic Pain?

I'm a 20 year old female with lower back pain and sciatic pain. I have had lower back pain for about 8 years and it feels like a constant knot in my back. Any amount of pressure hurts and so does moving, thus making me tired.

I had an MRI done of my lower spine, do you notice anything? I think that there looks like something wrong at the l5-s1 level
