At l5 -s1 generalised disc bulge. This disc bulge in combination with osteophytes, but predominately osteophyte in a far lateral left lateral position results in loss of fat! Then the conclusion says degenerative disc disease with potential for compromise of the left L5 nerve root in a far lateral position, predominately secondary to osteophyte? ?

Also moderate facet joint disease on this level. have looked up in bits and pieces and still none the wiser I am on lyrica tramadol naproxen robaxin diezepan amongst others and totally agony and now I have just found out that I am pregnant! !

I have no idea how to cope me n my partner have 6 kids between us and our youngest is only 10 months but any help would be very grateful thanks x
What specifically are your symptoms, what was the provocative event that caused them and were the type II Modic changes noted on the T1 or T2 weighted sequences? And since you have type II Modic signal change, your age???
