Hi we are very worried parents our 27year old son who recently graduated as a doctor of medicine / surgery and has complained of a sore back for a year he just came home upset after an mri and wont tell us much, he is still waiting for a blood test and booked a second mri

Can you please explain low signal in marrow of all vertebral bodies consistent with persistent red marrow. There is desiccation narrowing and disk bulging at L5 S1 as well as a moderate size central and right paracental disc protrusion this does not cause nueral compromise. No other relevant feature apart from unusual hypertense narrow signal

Thanksyou
