I need advise please. I had an MRI 3 years ago with the below findings. Until recently, very manageable. I have however over the past 2 weeks starting experiencing major lower back ache which affects my hips as well. L3/L4 disc level      Facet joint effusion. Mild displacement of the posterolateral thecal sac due to                moderate flavum hypertrophy. Further mild displacement of the ventral thecal sac           due to a broad-based annular bulge. No critical reduction in central canal calibre .           No lateral recess or foraminal compromise nor foraminal nerve root                     attenuation noted. 3.     L4/L5 disc level      Facet joint effusion.      Moderate flavum hypertrophy results in mild displacement of the posterolateral                thecal sac. No central canal stenosis.      No complicating disc herniation noted. 4.     L5/S1 disc level      Early disc dehydration. No complicating disc protrusion. No marked facet joint                arthrosis. No central canal or foraminal compromise noted. 5.     The rest of the lumbar disc spaces otherwise preserved apart from early disc                dehydration.      Uncomplicated L1 vertebral body haemangioma.
