Depression of the superior end plate at T12 due to an interosseous disc herniation

I get lower back pain quickly when standing and after walking with a rollator. I am all right when sitting but can get back pain often when laying on my left side. I tend to feel off balance and light headed when standing but am not sure if that is a symptom or has another cause.

Report on recent lumbar spine MRI scan said there is no evidence of spinal stenosis. There is depression of the superior end plate at T12 due to an interosseous disc herniation. There is no evidence of a significant lumbar prolapse or nerve root compromise at any level however.

An MRI in 2016 did not mention this problem. Can anyone say what treatments will be of help. I have yet to have a follow up consultant appointment.
