I have similar issue...

My MRI report says...
Evidence of fatty haemangioma at L2 vertebral body is noted . The Vertbral bodies and their posterior neural arches other appears normal. Incidentally on the seggital sequences, note loss of normal Lumbar lordosis.

L4-5 disc demonstrates a desiccative signals with an annular bulge.

Against the site of L4-5 disc annular bulge , the anterior Thecal tangent appears impressed upon. Note mild ligamenta flavum hypertrophy at this level.

The intervertebral foraminae including the corresponding Dorsal root Ganglia and the perineural fat tend to be bilaterally symmetrical and normal.

The Paraspinal soft tissues appear normal.

Sagittal T2 Weighted screening of the Whole spine otherwise reveals C5-6 and C6-7 shallow disc protrusions, minimally impressing the thecal sac with alteration to the noemal Cervical lordosis.

Impression: L4-5 Disc annular bulge coupled with ligamenta flavum hypertrophy, causing thecal compression.

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
