hi everyone, I recently had an MRI and the results are completely foreign to me. I've been doing a lot of research on the net lately to help me understand this.
At L5-S1, there is a mild diffuse disc bulge confined within the epidural fat.
At L4-5 there is a diffuse disc bulge. Additionally there is a small central disc herniation.The disc abnormalities, combined with the degenerative hypertrophy of the ligamenta flava and facet joint creates mild-moderate central spinal stenosis.

I had an epidural last week and so far no relief. I have also been in physical therapy with no relief. I feel like I am on the verge of tears.
