L5 - S1 Discogenic disease
Hurt my back 3 years ago and finally received an MRI this week. Before I go on I want to specify that it was a Lumbar MRI. Is there a Sacral MRI or is that included in this? From the handful of X-rays I've seen I've always thought the issue was in my sacral area
Here are the results
L1-L5 all normal
L5-S1: Moderate Disc degenrative signal change and minimal height loss. A 4mm bulge in combination with minimal facet hypertrophy results in mild bilateral neural foraminal stenosis with abutment of the bilateral S1 traversing and right L5 exiting nerve roots. There is a central zone annular fissure.
Conclusion: L5- S1 discogenic Disease
I'm 27. What does all of this mean? Can I fix any of this? Are there certain steps to take from here? Should I see a certain type of specialist?
