L4 and L5 are levels of the vertebral body and L4-L5 refers to the intervertebral disc between the two bodies. The disc can get swollen, can cause cabal stenosis or can cause nerve root compression depending upon what the MRI shows. If the symptoms are not major, you can avoid MRI as of now and follow orthopedicians advice for complete resolution of your symptoms.
