<human>: Rescent MRI result I received: L3-L4 shows some Disc Desiccation there is narrowing of the disc space, flattening and loss of the normal posterior disc margin with broad-based protrusion. The Facets are intact. Some prominence of the Ligamentum Flavum noted, and a combination of Ligamentum Flavum prominence and Broad-Based bulging contribute to some relative narrowing of the Dural Canal. It should be noted that visually the Dural Canal is to the small end of normal in it s AP Diameter. Again no severe stenosis is seen but some relative narrowing of the overall dural canal is noted for the above mentioned reasons.
<bot>: Brief Answer: Lumbar spine disc herniation with mild spinal canal narrowing. You should see a neurosurgeon. Detailed Answer:Hello, Thank you for using Chat Doctor. It suggests there is a lumbar spine (L3-L4) disc herniation with degenerative changes resulting in narrowing of the intervertebral disc space and disc bulging (broad-based posterior disc protrusion). These findings, associated with flavor ligamentum prominence, contribute in spinal canal narrowing, although only a mild stenosis is noticed, indicating no severe articular compression or severe pain. This means that may be you don't need to repair it surgically for the moment, even though you should see a neurosurgeon to explain to you the follow-up plan and the physiotherapy exercises that may relieve your symptoms and which movements should be avoided. In case of pain you may use non-steroidal anti-inflammatory Chat Doctor.  Hope this is helpful. Let me know if you need more clarifications. Otherwise, please close and rate the answer. Kind
