Hello,
There is significant disc prolapse and it will keep on compressing your nerve roots and thus causes pain. You can consult an orthopedic for further evaluation.
You can opt for various non-surgical options like a steroid injection to the spine as it has got the same good results.
As first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
