Hello dear,
Your MRI report is showing L5-S1 disc prolapse with mild compression over spinal cord covering and mild foraminal stenosis. This is early stage with low risk of damage to nerves and can be managed on drugs and physiotherapy. Surgery at this stage may not be required.
You need to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper advice and treatment. You may try pregabalin, gabapentin or amitryptiline in adequate doses for low back pain releif.
hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health
