I am picking up a copy of the CD with images this afternoon to send to my cousin,

The MRI results T-12-L-3 were ok
L3-4 broad based disc bulge w/o stenosis
L-4 - L-5 broad based bulge w annular tear abutting the right L-5 nerve root
L-5-s1 right paracentral disc extrusion measuring 8mm and extending 5 mm below the superior endplate of S1 resulting in compression of the right S1 nerve root

Please help me interpret how bad this really is
