Question Need help decyphering MRI results

Need help decyphering this, currently in pain management , initially for neuropathy but now back issues are worse this is the most current MRI report, had injections in T1/T2 2 weeks ago and did nothing currently taking Opana, vicodin for breakthru, cymbalta and klonopin for restless legs but still in pain with lower back, feet big time thighs and calves.

MRI results:
Central and left paracentral disc herniation with craniad extrusion of disc material at L1/L2 causing left lateral recess and neural foraminal stenosis.

Diffuse disc protrusion and central herniation at L5/S1with bilateral formainal stenosis. Extensive disc space narrowing, degeneneration and modic Type 2 degenerative end plate changes at L5/S1.

Multilevel disc desication, degeneration and mild diffuse bulges without foraminal stenosis.

Overall, there has been progression of the degenerative process when compared to 2005 MRI.

Any responses greatly appreciated.
