Not a good idea to always take MRI when pain comes back.
First try -
Medications ( Analgesic with muscles relaxant )
Physiotherapy
Life style modification
In case the pain persists we can always take MRI later.
Next Steps
Orthopaedic Counsultation - For thorough examination and medications.
Health Tips
Avoid forward bending and heavy weight lifting.
In case of any neurological deficit (Weakness, Numbness) - Take urgent appointment.

The MRI findings needn't necessarily correlate with the symptoms. Instead of spending money on MRI please consult a competent orthopaedic surgeon who can assess and ascertain the reason for the pain and device a treatment protocol.
You are young so physiotherapy can give you immediate and lasting benefit if followed properly.
