Soo its Chronic back pain for a long duration 3-4 years . MRI Suggest mild disc bulge and facet joint arthropathy.  If u have only back pain without radiating in limbs or associated without tingling and numbness.  Then this pain should be due to FJA . U A TAKING medications from very long time but not relieved.  Additionally u should talk with your doctor about facet joint block/steroid injection. 
Next Steps
so ideally targeted facet joint steroid injection should be the next step in your case . and medications and physiotherapy should be continue with it
