Hi Mr vivek,
Thank you for posting your query.
I have noted your symptoms and X-ray findings of spin bifida.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about it as it may not cause any serious problems in your case.
Spina bifida is of varying severity and the severity can be confirmed by a detailed neurological examination and MRI spine if needed later.
As of now, it seems to be mild.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
