Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your MRI result that yield loss of disc level bulge disc tear around facet joints with a history of pain at the back and leg with incontinence I am suggesting that you have developed a joint disease called spondylolisthesis (arthritis of the spine radiating to the legs)

In view of this please take any of the following lyrica gabapentin cymbalta neurobion arthrotec

If no improvement schedule an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist for expert management
