hello. I am a first time user on this site. My name is Brianne and I am a 30 year ol woman with extreme back pain for 10 years. I ust had an MRI but do not understand it and was hoping someone could enlighten me.
it says under findings:
slight thoracolumbar dextroscoliosis evident
slight disc dehydration and bulge of annulus posteriorly more swo at L4-5 with limited compensatory findings related to scoliosis negative for encroachment concerns
at L5-S1 mild spondolosis slight endplate bony hypertrophy with mild disc protrusion beyong with annular tear
effaced anterior thecal sac with abutted S1 roots, mildly impinged on the right and left S1 roots
what does this mean?/
