MRI report showing degenerative changes of lumbar spine with descending nerve root. What does it mean?
Hi, My husband s pain is all on the left side. But this is the findings from his MRI . Could they be wrong? Degenerative changes of the lumbar spine , most severe at L5-S1 with involvement of the descending right S1 nerve root . Suggest clinical correlation for right S1 radicular symptoms. No findings are noted that would explain new left-sided symptoms.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Patients findings and MRI findings both are correct. However, the MRI findings do not explain patients symptoms. This could either mean that the MRI findings are wrong, or there is another cause to explain patient's symptoms.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD DM (Neurology)
