Default Help me understand my MRI report

Chronic loss of the L2-L5 vertibral body heights. At T-12-L1 Disc bulging. At L1-L-2 Moderate spinal canal stenoisis due to disc bulging, hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum and facet disease. At L-2 L-3 Mild spinal canal stenosis due to disc bulging, right postero-lateral disc protrusion, facet osteoarthropathy and hypertrophy of the ligamentum flavum. Also mild right side neuroforaminal narrowing wothout nerve root impingement. At L-3 L-4 Disc Bulging. At L-4 L-5 Mild spinal canal stenosis due to disc bulging , hypertrophy of the ligamantum flavum, facet disease and central to left central disc protrusion. There is a mild narrowing of the left lateral recess which my cause impingement on the descending L-5 nerve root. At L-5-S-1 There is a disc bulge with a central to right sentral disc protrusion and annual fissure tear of the L-5-S-1 level.The only root impingement mentioned was possible impingement of the L-5 root. The only really significant loking stenosis is at L-1- L-2.
