Dear user, these symptoms can be related to lumbar spondylitis. You can consult to orthopaedician, he will give you some medicine to relieve pain. But more important is change her lifestyle modification. Take some precautions like avoid excessive forward bending, lifting heavy weight, prolonged sitting or standing. Her disc space is reduced so may be possibility of nerve compression. So take these precautions and heat therapy on back in straight position, pain relieving gel and exercises like spinal extension isometric exercises. Do not use soft mattresses. Apply these protocol for 5 days and revert me.

There is not a serious issue. Osteophytes r not serious problem. For reduced disc space you should take care of some precautions like avoid forward bending, prolong standing, squatting. And do regular exercise for back strengthening. For acute pain you should apply ice pack locally twice a day for 15 min and some pain relieving gel after ice pack.
