Here is a website with some explanation of spinal MRI reports. maybe this will help a little. http://www.healthsynergyrx.com/mri-reports-and-terminology.html

Did the report say the size of the protrusions? Anything over 3mm could be considered a herniation (but only a concern if pressing on something)...under that size is usually considered a bulge and not a source of pain (because it is so small it is not pressing on anything)

Here is another site that will explain the make up of your spine, disc, explains herniations (etc) in great layman terms and illustrations! (so easy a caveman can understand!! lol)

Good luck!! Hope this helps!
