1. transitional vertebrae configuration at L5-S1 with a broad based disc buldge and possible disc protrusion. This is poorly visualized on the exam.
[Transitional vertebrae are abnormally formed vertebral bones that display the characteristics of two different types of vertebrae.]

2. L4-L5 disc bulging with right lateral inferior herniation and mild narrowing of the right lateral recess.

3. L3-L4 right lateral recess disc herniation with stenosis of the right lateral recess and right aspect of the canal.

Please help me understand and suggest treatment
