What Does This MRI Result For Persistent Back Pain Indicate?
Been having constant lower back pain since 2006 accident. Was first told L5-S1 has a bulging/herniated disc of 4mm. Pain won t leave, had another MRI saying now that L4-5: There is mild facet arthropathy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy. There is no significant spinal canal or neural foraminal stenosis. What does this mean.
