Hello all,
this is my 1st post so let me start by saying hi. I am a 32 year old male with nerve disorders in both arms that I have had numerous surgeries on. Right now I have lumbar back pain and numbness that goes down too my toes. My doctor sent me to get a nerve test and and there were findings that needed a follow up mri. I got the results back and my doctor went out of town so I am sitting here with these results and going out of my mind. Maybe 1 of you could read this and give me your opinion please and tyvm.



Indications: biiateial radicuiopathy with numbness.

Magnetic resonance imaging of the lumbar spine was performed with multiple sequences through the lumbar spine in multiple planes.

There are moderate hypertrophic degent ratlvo changes of the facet joints throughout the lumbar spine. The vertebral bodies are normal, there is straightening of lordosis. There is no spondyiolisthesrs. Intervertebral disc heights are well maintained. There is no paraspinal mass. The ecirus medullaris as normal.


At 7.4-5 a minimal broad anular i’alge flattens the ventral thecal sac but avoids nerves. It causes rio forairinal cr spinal canal stenosis,

at l5-’sl a minimal to small broad anular bugc. .As more promrnent towards the left it abuts the exiting rignt ls nerve. The left l5 nerve exits uncompromised. The bulge does not displace or cause right l5 nerve impingement. There is no significant foraminal or spinal canal atenosis at this level or elsewhere in the lumbar spine.


Impress ion
1. Moderate faiet joint arterosis in the lumbar spine.

2. Straightening of lordosis may be secondary to muscle spasm dr back pain.

3. Anular buuie at bc-si abuts but does not u1s?Lace right l5 nerve.

4. No evidence of left-side nerve foot compromise.
