What Does Multilevel Interverterbal Disc Space Narrowing Suggest?

what does this mean? It s an xray of my spine and the Dr. did not explain it to me. There is multilevel intervertebral disc space narrowing, most severe at 13-14. The sacroiliac joints appear grossly unremarkable. Also the Cat scan says...L5-S1 level demonstrates small focal disc herniation as described producing mild to moderate impingement upon right S1 nerve root.
