Hello, thanks for the details of your
MRI.
There are degenerative or age-related/wear-and-tear changes in the lower aspect of the lumbo-sacral spine (lower back), mainly involving -
1. Facets- these are the small intervertebral joints- involvement is similar to
arthritis.
2. Disc- Parts of it bulge/herniated out, with Mild pressure on the
spinal cord canal sac, which is located posteriorly.
There is no compression/stenosis of the areas where the
spinal nerve roots pass i.e. neuro-foramen, nor is there significant stenosis/pressure on the central cord canal- both of which can give rise to pain.
To summarize, your MRI shows mild degeneration of lower part of spine.
It is important to correlate the report with a history of your symptoms and a physical examination.
Hope this is helpful.
Take care.
