Avoid surgery...: Sounds like a common condition, disc degeneration. Yes it can happen in a 22 year old. If you smoke, quit. If you are overweight, you need to lose it. Stretching has been shown to be helpful as has physical therapy. There is no role for narcotic pain meds but nsaid's should help. Lifestyle changes and activity modifications will help you. Good luck, its a hard problem to overcome.

Back pain: The back pain can be caused by spinal stenosis, ruptured disc, nerve impingement ... It sounds like you are experiencing degenerative spinal pain. You should seek help from a pain management doctor or spine surgeon for a comprehensive evaluation and treatment. You might benefit from therapy and injection.

DDD: Sounds like your doctor started a back pain workup. The film needs to be personally reviewed to help verify what is the "pain generator". Then a treatment plan can be developed by your doctor for your particular issue.
