Welcome to health care magic.
1.The report suggest there are early degenerative disc disease with bulges at different levels mentioned.
2.This is posterior out-pouching of the disc due to loss of hydration causing mild pressure effect on the thecal sac in your case.
3.However there is no herniation or spinal canal stenosis seen at any level.
4.L4-5 shows loss of hydration in the facet joint - mentioned as degenerative changes.
5.Rest all appears normal, in this case if you are experiencing pain or discomfort in the back - the treatment includes exercises followed by physiotherapy. In your case back exercises will be enough.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
any thing to ask ? do not hesitate to ask.
