Welcome to healthcare magic.
After going through your query in my opinion it is degenerative spine with compressive symptoms.
Rest in position of relief, diacerine, glucasamine sulfate and analgesics (diclofenac). Sometimes vitamin D deficiency is the cause so get your vitamin D checked .If it is low then vitamin D supplementation can be taken.You can discuss with your treating Doctor.
Does not want MRI.
