General & Family Physician 's  Response
dear friend

Your back ache has its origin in the degenerative changes seen in your vertebrae and intervertebral discs.

To get a clearer picture it is recommended that you please get a MRI scan done where exact measurement and detailed picture can emerge for us to then formulate and suggest a course of treatment
