Call your doctor: Your doctor who has the complete report and who has examined you can give you more information. You have a herniated disc which may be putting some pressure on the nerve. Your doctor can give you more information and recommendation for treatment.

Pain is present: When an imaging report says "loss of lumbar curvature", the most likely reason is the presence of pain which causes spasm in the muscles, and straightens the spine. Therefore, it seems that the small l5-s1 disc bulge is causing some pain. At your age, that usually gets better with Ibuprofen and rest.
