Hi ~ Your son is much too young to have this kind of problem!

He has a disc bulge at L5-S1 (at the very bottom) that's poking the nerve root down there, and THAT HURTS. There's a little stenosis (narrowing) of the opening of the spinal canal, but it's not serious.

The facets (those bony wing-shaped things that stick out on our spine) are showing some changes but nothing serious.

They mention a 1mm cyst on the right lobe of the liver. You can ask your doctor about that.

Did your son injure himself ~ was it a fall or something? Usually, kids that age don't have spinal problems. Or did he lift something much too heavy for him? Just wondering. Actually, I'm just too nosey! LOL. I hope he feels ok. There are times that these bulges heal by themselves, although not frequent. It's done with plenty of rest, but exercise too.

I've got 23 years of this stuff behind me, so I've had to learn alot. I sure hope he doesn't have any more problems. God bless. Peace, Lee
