Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
These MRI findings are indicative of chronic inflammatory changes.
Coming to this point, I would recommend performing inflammation tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate) to check for inflammation. It is also necessary checking your vitamin D levels to exclude possible deficiency.
Regarding the pain, I would recommend using a muscle relaxant like Flexeril and performing regularly physiotherapy in order to help correct your posture and reinforce your back muscles.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards, Dr. Aida
