MRI findings indicate degenerative changes in lumbar spine. Degenerative changes are generally age related findings.It is due to chronic stress on annulus fibrosis. Findings are early in your case.
At L4-5 level,there is posterior bulge of inter vertebral disc which is causing indentation over thecal sac.Bulged disc is also causing mild narrowing of bilateral neural foramen.
Majority of degenerative disc disease patients are benefited by conservative treatment in the form of physiotherapy,analgesics and muscle relaxants. Surgery should be the last option.
Since you have mild findings,so you may only need conservative treatment.
Treatment can be planned after consultation with neurologist.
Get well soon. Take Care Dr.Indu Bhushan
