Welcome to hcm,
This investigation tells that in the lumbar area in the spine at the level of the space between the fourth and fifth vertebral column there is a bulge or herniation. It is usually caused due to the constant compression given in the vertebral column.vertebral column contains spinal cord .compression in the vertebral column gives compression to the nerves arising between the two vertebra. Because of these things there may be pain numbness and weakness below these level in the whole body. Hope this explains in detail.
