Hi,
Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic.
These changes are referring to degenerative changes seen in your spine. It occurs due to aging. There is some decrease in your disc spaces and osteophytic changes. Also some sclerosis of sacroiliac joints is seen.
You need to do exercises and get physiotherapy sessions which will help you in getting better.
If the problems are not subsiding, please get an MRI done, which will reveal the progression of the disease and compression of nerves if any.
Hope it sorts your problem and wishing you a speedy recovery.
Regards,
Dr. Pankaj Nagori
