Hello dear
I see you have a chronic lower back pain which can be very disabling.
Now you having recurrent back pains with activities involving strain on your back points towards a possible weakness in your core muscles and cartilage of your discs.
I can offer you exercises to strengthen your core and medicines to strengthen your discs.
Next Steps
Consult online or in person if based in delhi
Health Tips

Your symptoms are consistent with a left sided radiculopathy( a pinched nerve). This is usually a result of a slipped intervertebral disc.
Your MRI report is 2 years old, I would suggest a repeat MRI to ensure the nerve roots are not getting compressed.
Next Steps
MRI and detailed evaluation with spine surgeon
