I have noted your symptoms and MRI findings. The findings are minor, and you can be treated without surgery conservative management. This would include precautions such as avoiding forward bending and lifting heavy weights. Also, you should do back extension exercises, which can be taught by a physiotherapist. Medications that can help you are pregabalin or gabapentin capsules. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information.
