MRI Questions for Lower Lumbar Spine
I have questions about the following findings on my MRI done on my lower lumbar spine. I have been having trouble with my back for 5 and a half years. In April of this year, my back "went out" again, and I haven't regained full use yet. I have severe pain down my left leg, also. I was wondering if my MRI results could be broken down to better understand them. The following are the findings on my MRI:
-Incidental uncovertebral body and hemangiomas at L4.
-At L4-5, there is minimal facet hypertrophy.
-At L5-S1, there is slight retrolisthesis of L5 on S1 with uncovered disc, annular fissure, and small central bulge versus minimal midline disc protrusion and slight abutment of the thecal sac.
-No nerve root compression.
-Some mild degenerative change at L5-S1.
-Mild facet degenerative change at the lower lumbar spine.
-Probable tiny central disc protrusion at L5-S1, but with no nerve root compression.
I appreciate your time with my question.
