Hello,
Thanks for your query.

You might be suffering from degenerative disc *disease & it occurs due to repetitive overload or stress to the disc & it increases the risk of disc herniation & spinal canal stenosis.
For this condition you have to do stretching & strengthening exercises in which you have to stretch tight muscle & strengthen weakened ones which will alleviate stress on facet joint and disc.
Meanwhile for pain control take anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
