welcome to Health care magic.
1.The disc which is seen in between two vertebrae has moved posteriorly.
2.Its not causing pressure effect on the nerve - its good.
3.There is joint arthropathy - inflammation in the joint, it could be post traumatic causes.
4.There is no central canal stenosis, no pressure on the spinal chord.
5.End plate depression - reduced intervertebral space.
6.Your symptoms can be relieved by simple back exercises, if causing any difficulty in daily activities - an intervention / operative procedure may be needed.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
