Hello dear,
Your Mri report means that you have lumbar disc prolapse which is pushing over thecal covering of csf space.
But still no nerve root compression or canal stenosis are reassuring findings.
you may visit your neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper examination and evaluation.
hope you found the answer helpful
