Are my lumbar MRI findings concerning?
Patient's Query
Findings: fir oussama The conus is normal. There is right partial sacralization of L5. At L4-L5, there is moderate left and mild right side facet joint disease with thickened ligamenta flava associated with mild loss of disc signal and with a posterior disc bulge lateralized to the left causing moderate compression of the left L.5 root. The disc extends mildly into the left foramen contributing to mild narrowing of the left foramen without clear compression of the left L4 root. At L3-L4, there is mild bilateral facet joint disease without impingement. The marrow shows no suspicious signal. No central canal stenosis. The foramina are normal. No spondylolysis or spondylolisthesis. The paraspinal soft tissues are normal.
Answered by Dr. Pramod Bhor
It appears that you have some changes in your lower back, particularly at the L4-L5 level, which may cause symptoms like pain or discomfort in your legs. This could stem from wear and tear or injury affecting the facet joints and discs. While your condition shows some mild issues, it's reassuring that there's no severe nerve compression or significant canal narrowing. I recommend discussing these findings with your orthopedist, who can offer personalized advice and potential treatments to help you manage any symptoms effectively.
