Please help with MRI report

[bernall]

I received a coppy of my MRI results however, my doctor was not in his office to explain the results. I am hoping someone has some experience with an MRI of lumbar spine. I would GREATLY appreciate help because my pain tolerance is diminishing daily!!!

L4-5 There is a large 9 x 14 mm right paramedian disc herniation/protrusion with direct mass effect on descending roots and compression of the preganglionic right S1 nerve root. There is severe canal stenosis and proximal right neural foraminal narrowing. There is bilateral facet arthrosis. There are disccognetic degenerative changes inferior endplate of L4 and superior endplate of L5

L5-S1 There is disc desiccation and decrease in height of intervertebral disc. There is 5mm central disc herniation deforming the dural sac with moderate mass effect on decending roots.


Can anyone help help me??????


Thanks
