Is mild disiccation and mild bulg at l4 l5 painful and mild bilateral l3 l4 and l4 l5 neural formaminal stenosis painful and what is treatment ?

No. yes maybe: The dessication and mild bulge are quite common and rarely cause symptoms. The foraminal stenosis is of more concern. This will cause pain if the stenosis is tight enough.
