Pathologist and Microbiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

The MRI report suggests the presence of bulging of the intervertebral disc at level L5-S1.
Bulging of the intervertebral disc can lead to compression of the spinal nerves emanating of the nerve roots from spinal cord.
I suggest you consult an orthopedician for clinical assessment.
Bulging of the intervertebral disc can be managed by rest and pain killers.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
