Hi,

I have Multilevel degenerative disc disease with spondylosis, worst at L4-L5 where there is mild to moderate spinal canal stenosis and at L5-S1 where a small superimposed herniated disc and associated annular tear is identified.

Can you tell me prior to my dr visit next Monday, what this exactly means and where L5-S1 is and is it possible for any area in my upper abdomen to have the nerves effected? :

Thanks
