Several problems: Sounds like the spine is suffering degeneration. End plate is the we bearing surface of the lower vertebra, and it was flat, but now curved or irregular. Thus squeezed the disc, which has bulged out from its position and part of it is pressing against the sack that covers the spinal,cord, a potential pain issue. I have no clue what a limbus lesion is

Stenosis: You have developed what is known as spinal stenosis which is essentially a narrowing or "pinching" of the nerves in the spinal canal. There are multiple treatment options available, don't hesitate to see a specialist.
