MRI findings relating to lower back pain, sciatica to left leg.
L3/4 Disc desiccation is noted as well as degenerative changes to the left facet
L4/5 disc desiccation is noted in combination with circumferential bulge and small posterior annular tear.
L5/S1 left side paracentral and foraminal posterior disc protrusion is noted, with subsequent posterior deviation of the left side descending S1 root and early comression of it. the central calan is otherwise still adequately patent.
I have been going to physio and massage theropy for the last 2 months weekly. The pain comes and goes, and is tolerable. Just wondering what now? I tried running again, but severe pain and cramping in the left calf, I don't think related to the run, so I have stopped everything, until I get this figured out.
