Hello, I am a 50yr old female with worsening back pain for 10 years. It feels now like I have a pinched nerve at the lowest level of my spine and running down my right leg. I had a MRI and here are some of the findings that they wrote that didn t specifically state normal Can you tell me what each of these mean? 1. L1-L2 disc is normal in signal and height. No disc bulge, central canal or foraminal narrowing. there is mild desiccation 2. L-2-L-3 states all of the same above and also says there is mild desiccation with trace circumferential disc buldge. 3. L-3-L-4 same as L-2-L-3 4. L-4-L-5 disc is normal in signal and height. no disc buldge, central canal or foraminal narrowing 5. L-5-S-1 There is moderate disc space narrowing, and desiccation. Anterior listhesis is accompanied by uncovering of the posterior aspect of the disc. No annular tear. The canal and nerual foramina are b ilatterally patent. There is no impingement. Bilateral pars defects are present. No edema or colledction is present bordering the pars defects. the impression at the end states: -Grade 1 anterior listhesis of L5 over S1 with bilateral pars defects. uncovering of the posterior aspect of the L5 disc with mild buldging without canal or neural foraminal narrowing. -The annnular tear previously seen at L5-S1 is no longer visualized thank you for your answers in advance!
