Hello. I have been through yoir question and understand your concern.

Heterogenicity in the bone marrow and disc dehydration share the same mecanism which consists on normal aging of these structure with loss of cellular methabolism and exchange causing loss of water, elasticity and normal architecture sometimes called vertebral and disc degeneration.

All this is normal. And all other reportings are within normal features of a normal aged spine.

Dont worry.

Hope this helps.
