Hello

Report suggests degenerative disc disease of lumbar spine.
Degenerative changes occurs in spine due to aging and development of weakness in annulus fibrosis.

1.At L2-3,L3-4,L4-5 and L5-S1 level there is narrowing of bilateral neural foramen associated with compression of nerve roots.

Cause of compression is not mentioned in the report means whether it is caused due to disc prolapse or due to osteophytes.

Majority of the cases of degenerative spine disease are benefited by physiotherapy,so physiotherapy should be tried first.
Surgery should be the last option.

Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.

Get well soon.
Take Care
