Help with MRI Posted: 04-11-08 15:33pm


Hi All, I was hoping some of you could help me decipher my MRI. It basically says from the L2 to the S1 I have bulging disk. I also have moderate degenerative disk disease and moderate degenerative facet disease bilaterally. At the L3-L4 level I also have overall spinal stenosis. I am only 49 years old and don’t think I should have this many problems with my back. I am in a lot of pain basically from the waist down. Can anyone tell me if this stuff is really bad or is there hope. Thanks Marie

I really do not know how to explain these, but I have the same thing you do, just different disc's. I believe with the bulding that means the disc is displaced and moved out toward the front of the spinal area. Stenosis is when a part of the spine is diformed and tilts inward. All of these can be very painful. I know, I will be on pain pills for the rest of my life most likely. The best thing you can do is, set down with your neurologist and have him explain it to you with one of those fake spines they have in the office.
