Hello,
These MRI finding are suggestive of mild changes in your lumbar spinal column. There is a disk herniation on L5, which could cause pain irradiating on the legs. There is no need for surgery, but I would recommend wearing a lumbar brace during prolonged sitting or standing up position and avoiding weight lifting. Physiotherapy can help too.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
