What Could Cervical Spondylosis In MRI Report Suggest?
Hello sir,
I have pain in my low back area and this pain goes down to my left thigh also. Yesterday i have gone through MRI. Below are my MRI details. I greatly appreciate if anybody provide me a feedback about my MRI report.
1. Straightened lumber and cervical curvature - likely due to muscle spasm.
2. Early lumbar and cervical spondylosis wit L3-L4,L4-L5 and L5-S1 disc desiccative changes.
3. L4-5 disc posterocentral broad based disc bulge with ligamentum flavum thickening identing the ventral thecal sac and compromising the bilateral lateral recesses with probable impingement onto the traversing nerve roots.
4. L3-L4 and L5-S1 discs shows broad based posterocentral disc bulge identing the ventral thecal sac mildly compromising the bilateral neural foramina with no significant neural impingement.
5. Secondary canal compromise at L3-L4, L4-L5 and L5-S1 levels most significant at L4-L5 level.
6. Screening of rest of the spine shows diffuse cervical disc dessicative changes with C5-6 and C6-7 discs mild diffuse annular bulges identing the ventral sac with no obvious neural impingement.

Hi
Wellcome to healthcaremagic
In your report the cervical and lumbar spondylosis is mentioned and it indicates that the vertebral body marines have osteophytes i.e. small protrusions are coming out which indicates degenerative changes for spine and this occurs sue to excessive wear and tear of the spine.
This condition is painful and this leads to stiffing of your muscles leading to muscle spasm and straitening of the spine.
