Keep living: If you are meaning findings on an MRI i wouldnt sweat it if you aren't having symptoms. To keep it from becoming a problem down the road, you might consider core strengthening therapy. If you develop leg pain or severe back pain, you probably ought to see your doctor.

Varies: It is really more based upon your symptoms. You would not have to do anything at all, or if you were symptomatic enough there are multiple options available.
