its almost 6 months now
MRI Lumbosactal Spine
Straightening of lumbar lordosis suggesting of pravavertebral muscles spasm.
L-4-L-5 and L5_S1 discs show low T2WI signal suggesting of degenerative disc lesion.
Marginal and Posterior osteophytes are noted.
L-4-L5 and L-5-S1 discs show diffuse posterior bulge with indentation of thecal sac with bilateral narrowed exit foramina.
Preserved vertebral bodies’ height, shape and their bone marrow signal intensities.
Maintained height and signal intensity of the other examined discs, with no disc bulges or herniations.
The visualized terminal part of spinal cord and conus medullaris are of normal configuration and signal characteristics.
The bony spinal canal displays normal width.
No para spinal soft tissue abnormality detected.

Hi
In short your MRI Revealed degeneration and mild prolaps of disc( it is present between two vertebrae ) in between 4th and 5th lumbar vertebrae and another between 5th lumbar n 1st sacral vertebrae.
Bony outgrowth(osteophyte ) which is found posteriorly n small .
Loss of distal curvature of lumbar spine due to contraction of para verebral group of muscle .
Rest findings are normal .
I have tried explaining you in very simple language which may not be scientific n hope this ll help you.
Thanks n regards
