can someone please give me some advice i
went for a mri scan on my back and my
doctor has well confused me here is what
the report says
findings:normal vertebral body alignment.
There is evidence of disc dehydration at
T12/l1 with a schmorles node distorting
the superior cortical endplate of l1.More
signification disc dehydration is seen at
L5/S1 though the disc space here is
preserved.
There is a focal area of high signal in
the region of the posterior annulus of the
L5/S1 disc which is displacing the
posterior longitudinal ligament.
The axial section through this region
however show that this is causing
indentation of the thecal sac and the L5
nerve root exit formination remain
spacious.
There is evidence of minor facet joint
arthrosis in the lower lumber spine
if someone coudle pls tell me what this
all means it would help ive now been off
work for just over 4 months and want to
return back to work but every time i go
back the problem starts up again and takes
months for me to be able to cope with it

Did the doctor explain it to you? If not,
ask. Sounds to me like you are going to
have to deal with back pain for the rest
of your life. You will have to learn to
manage it with meds. Ask for a second
opinion.
