Dear DR Kindly advice the treatment guidlines. My father (72 yrs) has got his MRI done and his report shows the following findings- There is straightening of the lumbar lordosis. Vertebrae are normal in height and alignment. Posterior elements appear normal in signal intensity. Spondylotic changes are seen in the lumbar vertebrae in the form of marginal osteophytes and grade 2 end plate changes. Partial disc dessication are noted at multiple levels. Diffuse disc bulge is noted at L5-S1 level causing thecal indentation and mild lateral recess and neural foraminal stenosis. Paracentral and foraminal disc buldge is also noted at L3-4 and L4-5 levels, causing no significant central canal stenosis and mild narrowing of bilateral, lateral recesses and neural foraminae. Facet joint hypertrophy is noted at multiple levels. Visualised spinal cord appears normal and ends at D12-L1 level. Thanking you
