It mean the disc's T3-4-5 are pressing or compressing up against the spinal cord and this is probably the area that is causing your problems.

I really don't. Most of the times when I can't figure it out I'll just Google those 2 or 3 key words. Sometimes that works.

I am 35. I have talked to the doctor, just not satisfied with what I was told. Unfortunately I did not have the MRI results with me when I talked with the doc.

Focal: Pertaining to a focus which in medicine may refer to:
1. The point at which rays converge as, for example, in the focal point. 2. A localized area of disease. (For instance: A focal cancer is limited to one specific area.) Kyphosis - Abnormally increased convexity in the curvature of the thoracic spine as viewed from the side. Kyphosis – An abnormal increase in the normal kyphotic curvature of the thoracic spine. Kyphosis – An angulation of the spine with the curve bent forward. This is the opposite of a lordosis.

sclerotic
1. hard; firm; indurated; applied especially in anatomy to the firm outer coat of the eyeball, which is often cartilaginous and sometimes bony. Adj. 1. sclerotic - relating to or having sclerosis; hardened I can't recall what "endplate sclerotic changes" means, though; someone had kindly told me what it means in the past - after it also turned up in reports about my spinal films.

None of it sounds good. I guess I should take it that my spine is hunching and the discs are hardening?
