I'm sorry I didn't see this sooner. I'll TRY to help.

A Hemangioma is a benign tumor of blood vessels that typically occurs as purplish/reddish elevated areas of the skin. Many times they don't cause any problems, but sometimes they do.

The "loss of lumbar lordosis" means that your spine isn't curved normally.

L4-5 disc shows that it's "drying out" which can happen with age, but some of us have it happen sooner than others. The annula is a fluid filled sac that the disc sits in. There is a bulge in yours.

At C5-6 & C6-7, you have disc bulges which press on the thecal sac . The thecal sac is a membrane of dura matter that surrounds the spinal cord & the cauda equina. The thecal sac is filled with cerebral spinal fluid. Alll this alters the curvature of your cervical spine.

I hope this helps a little - I know it's all confusing. Let me know if you have more questions! hugs. Lee
