Look....that is because you are asking a question on MRI report interpretation to an audience that consist of about 99.99% people that have had no training in reading MRI's.

You also need to understand that MRI's are not done to provide a diagnosis in the absence of clinical findings, rather they are ordered to confirm or deny a clinical "pathology" suspected based off of the history, subjective complaints and clinical findings. So to ask what the MRI reveals without providing complaints and clinical findings is realing putting the cart before the horse!

That said, knowing absolutely nothing about your complaints or examination findings, your MRI may or may not be clinically significant for compression at L5-S1 and may or may not be clinically significant for issue concerning your Tarlov cysts. Your clinician is best suited to answer those questions and if you are not happy with his report of findings, get a second opinion!
