Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Tjose imaging findings correspond to degerative spinal changes due to arthritis.

You should use short term NSAID drugs and physical therapy in order to improve.

Avoid lifting weights.

Later on epidural spinal injections may be of benefit.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Greetings.
