Hi and Welcome to HCM,
This reports reveals that L5 vertebrae does not joint with sacral bone completely and you have disc degenerative disease. Normally lumbar spine will have a bend, here it is straight.
Consult orthopedic surgeon. If necessary surgery may be done.
Wish you speedy recovery,
Thank you
