For cervical spine :
In C5-6 there is a minimal disc bulg with anterior thecal sac impingement. there no foraminal impingement.

For lumbar spine :
In L5-S1 There is reduction in disc signal intensity. There is a left paracentral/ left foraminal herniation .The degree of left foraminal impingement is stable. the degree of impingement upon the left S1 nerve root is also stable.
- There is straightening of the lumbar lordosis indicative of muscle spasm.

Can you please help me understand the results and how serious is those results !,
Thank you
