Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. MRI findings are suggestive for degenerative disc and column disease. Disc bulging means early stage of herniated disc disease, bones involvement means spondylitis. You need treatment with rest, NSAID drugs, physical therapy, painkillers (if you experience moderate to severe pain) and periodic follow up from your primary care Doctor. There's no need yet for surgery. Appropriate treatment may subside need for surgery. Hope this answers your question.
