Default Test results - Can anyone understand?

I know most of your aren't experts but can any of you understand this stuff. My dr still hasn't called me about these.

Lumbar Spine MRI -
1. Right L5-S1 posterolateral disc herniation abutting the right S1 nerve root as it exits from the thecal sac.
2. Left lateral disc protrusions at L2-L3 and L3-L4 impressing on their respective spinal nerves in the foramen.
3. Disc bulging and discogenic disease from L1-L2 through L5-S1

Thoracic Spine MRI -
1. Chronic T7 and T10 superior endplate compression deformities, without retropulsion or associated subjacent disc bulge or herniation.
2. There is no herniated disc at any level.

Cervical Spine MRI -
1. There is no herniated disc or mass associated with the cervical spine.
2. Mild C5-C6 and C6-C7 diffuse disc bulges impress on the thecal sac to some degree but do not cause cord or foraminal compromise.
3. There is no mass lesion in the right side of the neck demonstrated on this targeted to the cervical spine.

My neck arteries were fine. They didn't see anything to do with the lump in my neck/collarbone area. I know it's there, it just didn't show up. Would scar tissue show on an MRI?
