MRI LUMBAR SPINE WITH SCREENING OF WHOLE SPINE
Technique:
T1-T2 sagitals & axials, IR coronals.
Findings:
Schmorl's nodes at L1 to L4 vertebral endplates.
Early spondylotic changes.
Alignment, heights and bone marrow signal intensity of all the lumbar vertebral
bodies are within normal limits.
Mild levoscoliosis.
Signal configuration of conus and cauda are within normal limits.
Oiscal bulge, small broad based left paracentral protrusion at 012-L 1 with pressure
over left exiting root.
Oiscal bulge, broad based central left paracentral protrusion at L5-S1 with compression
of left traversing root.
Configuration of rest of the discs, thecal sac, filar roots, lateral recesses, neural
foraminae, neural arches, facet joints and posterior elements are within normal limits.
No intra I extraspinal masses seen.
Dimensions of rest of the spinal canal are within normal limits.
Both sacroiliac joints show normal signal configuration.
Discal bulge at C4-C5 to C6-C7, D6-D7, D10-D11, D11-D12 with thecal indentation.
IMPRESSION:
Early spondylotic changes.
Discal bulge, small broad based left paracentral protrusion
at D12-L 1 with pressure over left exiting root.
Discal bulge, broad based central left paracentral protrusion
at L5-S1 with compression of left traversing root.
Discal bulge at C4-C5 to C6-C7, D6-D7, D10-D11, D11-D12
with thecal indentation.

Welcome to Health care magic.
1.There is a disc in-between the vertebral bodies which contains good amount of water content, servers as s shock - absorber effect between the vertebral bodies.
2.Due to degenerative changes, excessive usage, weight bearing works - this discs slips, herniates, bulges due to reduced hydration / water content.
3.The bulged disc in your case at the level of T12-L1, ale L5-S1 seen causing pressure effect on the nerve which is passing through a foramen post-lateral position ( which are the reason for pain)
4.And at C4-5,C6-7,D10-D11,D11-12 the discs are seen slipped backwards and causing mass effect / pressure on the spinal chord.
5.In this case treatment will be initially tried with back exercises followed by the physiotherapy - lastly when no relief operative / interventional procedure is done. Good luck.
Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health.
Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
