Default MRI help

Hello, I am a 26 year old female with mid back pain for about 10 years. Finally had an MRI done on T area of back, I guess I am looking for anyone with common readings or who can give me more information about my MRI. I see the doctor soon and would also like any suggestions of what ask my doctor. MRI results:

Findings:
Scattered Schmorl's nodes, primarily in the segment from T6 to T12, chronic in their imaging appearance. There is a small, right, posterior, paracentral disc protrusion at T7-T8, which does not contribute to spinal stenosis. Chronic right, posterior, paracentral disc extrusion of the intervertebral disc. This does not contribute to spinal stenosis. Chronic left posterior, paracentral disc extrusion where a tiny volume of contiguous disc material measuring up to approximately 4mm extends above the margin of the intervertebral disc. This effaces the ventral subarachnoid space and contributes to no more than mild central canal stenosis.

Impression:
1) Chronic disc extrusions at T8-T9, and T11-T12, more pronounced at the latter, where there is up to mild associated left asymmetric central canal stenosis. With the exception of a tiny right posterior paracentral protrusion at T7-T8, the appearance of the intervertebral disc is normal.

2) Schmorl's Nodes in the mid to inferior thoracic spine, likely on a developmental Basis.
