Hello,
Welcome at HCM.
I have read your query.
Your x ray is showing muscle spasm at both cervical & lumber region.There is decrease in disc space at lumber region.
The muscle spasm at spine is showing that there is some underlying pathology like prolapsed disc or strain of muscles due to abnormal position of back or neck.
Decreased disc space at l4-5 is showing that there is disc pathology at this region.
Hope this all will help you.
With best wishes.
