Is the above correct - both about L4 & L5?
There is loss of normal signal intensity from the disc nucleus at L-3 L-4 also reflecting early degenerative change
No significant extradural abnormalities are seen.
The neural formina are patent.
The L2L3 level demonstrates a mild 2mm Central disc protrusion with a corresponding extradural indentation on the anterior subarachnoid.
L1 L2 normal
IMPRESSION: mild 2mmdisc protrusion/herniation L2-L3
Evidence of early degenerative disease L3 L4 and L5.

Just because the MRI mentions mild , doesn't always = mild pain..
Have you had any PT at all, or even expert chiropractic?
There are pain relieving therapies and possibly the herniation can be improved. posture, fitness, excercises.
