Brief Answer:
Do physiotherapy and take medications as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello Dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
The MRI report is suggestive mild displacement of your lower to disc at L4/5 and L5/S1 levels. This is causing some compression to CSF space but not compressing over nerve roots. This may be normally present in some cases.
But with backache you need to be careful.
You should avoid lifting heavy objects, stooping forward, sitting in squatting position.
Do regular back strengthening extension exercises.
Consult a neurologist and a physiotherapist for proper guidance.
For treatment you may try painkiller with muscle relaxant for some time.
Pain modulators like pregabalin, gabapentin or amitriptyline may be tried.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
DO get back with further queries.
