welcome to Health care magic.
1.Your cervical spine report is normal.
2.Lumbar spine says the disc at level of L5-S1 protruded posteriorly and might causing some pressure effect on the nerve or chord indentation.
3.And the joint between these vertebrae shows inflammatory / degenerative changes.
4. Yes this will cause the symptoms you are facing.
5.Nothing to worry - simple back exercises are enough in your case. And take car of position while sitting and lying on the flat bed will help, don't keep cross legs.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
