I just had an MRI done yesterday nearly two years after my discectomy operation on l5/s1..... Been dealing with off and on pain since then but have muscled through it. No doc visits or narcotics prescribed but I finally had enough and went in. The doc was concerned about some results of the pin prick test so he had an MRI done and I'd like to know what it all means.... Below is the report.... If anyone can translate to normal people speak I'd love you forever. Also, do you think this will mean yet another surgery to fix this mess? TIA.

L3-4: interval development of a broad based disc protrusion producing thecal sac effacement greater to the left of midline.

L4-5: some loss in disc signal intensity. Some generalized bulging of the disc is greater to left producing mild diffuse thecal sac effacement.

L5-s1: some disc signal changes anterolateral to the thecal sac on the left are present and abut the traversing left s1 root and also abut the anterolateral aspect of the thecal sac on the left. Could be fibrosis or some extruded disc material....

Development of a schmorl's node involving the inferior end plate if l5 anteriorly

Thoughts new friends??
