Let's see if I can help
In the cervical spine, your C2-3 space is normal
At Cs3-4 there is a disc bulge, but doesn't seem to be causing any trouble.
At T1-2 things are fine
Your soft tissues are fine, you do have mild bone spurs but nothing drastic.
Your spine is straight.
You have multi-level bone spurs, most apparent at C5-6
Lumbar, you have mild bulging at L1-2
At L2-3 & L3-4 no disc bulges
L4-5 you have disc drying out & mild bulging; the ligamentum flavum is yellow elastic tissue - it buckling. The neural foramen is the hole where the nerves pass thru to the spinal cord - that's fine.
L5-6 You lost some disc space height cause the disc is drying out. You have a disc bulge. and an annular tear - that's the fluid filled sac that the disc sits in. The mild facet arthrosis is a degenerative joint problem and it's getting in the way of the neural foramen (the hole that the nerves pass thru).
You have no masses in the spine.
I hope this makes sense to you. If you have questions, let me know. God bless. Hugs, Lee
