mri FINDING

I finally got a report on an MRI of the lumbar spine I had a month ago. Dessication of L5-S1 with small central annular fissure, no foraminal or spinal canal narrowing. I can't get an "official" consult by my doctor for almost another month. What is this? What treatment should I expect? Is there any thing I can do in the meantime while awaiting my next appointment. I am 58 year old female. No hx of auto mishaps, but I have fallen many times over the last few years, most recently in January this year, but landed on my hands at that time!
