Cardiologist 's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that these MRI findings are suggestive of chronic degenerations of the lumbar vertebral column, due to overweight or weight lifting. There is no need for surgery, but I would recommend avoiding weight lifting and performing physiotherapy. A lumbar brace can help too.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
