Hi,

The relevant part is not what MRI says, but what problems you have and why did you get MRI. This report has to be co-related to your clinical picture. Consult your doctor for examination and treatment.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Gopal Goel, Orthopaedic Surgeon
