Hi greatpicks, it is hard to say how bad your condition is, some people cope all right with this sort of pathology, it kind of depends on your age, if you don't need to move much, and you are in the twilight years, then there is not that much to worry about, people who are advanced in age often have this kind of illness.

I can say that all your lumbar disks are bulging, and there is some impingement of the nerves by a couple of your disks, you also have some amount of degenerative joint disease between the facet joints at the L4-5 level.


I think your situation is far from hopeless with a healthy lifestyle and some helpful therapy some sort of recovery is possible. none of your disks are ruptured which is a good sign it is possible for the bulging in your disks to ease.


Good luck Greatpicks
