Hello,
The MRI report suggestive of severe disc degeneration. It is nothing but an age related wear and tear of discs.
Consult an orthopaedician and get evaluated. As a first line management We have to rule out can proceed with conservative measures like exercise and analgesics.
In severe cases, surgical correction might be required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
