What were your symptoms before it was decided for you to have an MRI?
You have a lot of normal aspects about your spine from the MRI. If you had some concept about the anatomy of the spine, in regard to the disc margins, they are determining if you have any buldging or herniated discs. Posterior means the back of the disc and vertebrae
When the word "demonstrated" is used, it mean that is the area that is showing or visible and they are determining its condition.
Facets are the joints in the vertebrae which develops changes with age and use and possible medical problems like arthritis. It is saying that you are showing mild changes at the age of 30.
Hey and your ligamentum flavum is in good shape. That's the lining that goes around the vertebral canal through which the spinal cord passes. That's great!
My age is about double yours and when I had my surgery, my surgeon had to remove an inch and one half of overgrowth which pressed on my spinal cord and created a major stenosis.
Lordosis means that your spine isn't perfectly straight. There is a portion of it where it leans very slightly.
The conus is the spinal cord end which is usually for most folks at the L1. Th cord then divides into a zillion little nerve strands called the cauda equina (horses' tail") from the Lumbar region to the Sacral vertebrae. Yous is normal
Hey and you have no squashed nerves that are creating problems for you because of so many normal discs and vertebrae's. This is good.
Signal intensity is normal which means that your cord is happily sending its messages and receiving its messages to all parts of your body and doing it without any impingements.
I wish my MRI had said that. And just in case, I wanted to let you know that I am not a doctor but have a limited understanding of the spine.
I hope they determine what the problem with your lungs are.
Good Luck!
