My mom is having severe pain in lower back .I am sending you the MR findings Disc degenerative disease with grade anteriolisthesis of L5 over S1vertrebra with,Diffuse disc bulge with minimal postero disc protrusion at L3-L4 level effacing the ventralepidural fat plane and mild impression over the ventral nerve roots,Diffuse posterior and foraminal disc bulge at L4-L5 level and along listheseis and facetopathy is causing canal and foraminal stenosis compressing thethecal sac and bilateral exiting and traversing nerve roots.Canal diameter at L4-L5 is 8mm atL5-S1 is 9mm.
HI This report is suggestive of degeneration of disc, means the normal consistency thickness broadness of bone disc are not there and not in normal position, in such case Surgery is the only remedy one can try. Good luck
