In my view the radiological changes are reflective of the stress that one exerts on the lumbar spine from birth till the time the investigation is undertaken. Your observations reveal that there is some amount of wear and tear occurring at those levels making the disc weak. Such weak discs need to be protected by good posture, ergonomic way of functioning and strengthening the core muscles as well as addressing any muscular imbalances of the legs.
