MRI, what are they saying in it

at l1/2,the dorsal disc margin is intact, and the canal and neutral foramina bilaterally are patent. At T 12\L1 their small focal posterior central to right paracentral disc herniation resulting in mild ventral thecal sac compressions. however, there is no canal stenosis, foraminal narrowing or nerve root compression.

2) unremarkable postop changes from prior L3 - L5 dorsal decompression and hardware fusion. There is malalignment  or canal stenosis at these postop levels.

3) mild degenerative canal stenosis at  L2/3.

4) small focal posterior central to right paracentral disc herniation at T 12/L1, but without associated canal stenosis or nerve root compromise

This MRI looks pretty good.

You have slight pressure on the spinal cord just below your ribs from what may be the beginnings of degenerative disc disease or perhaps a traumatic injury.

However, MRIs are meaningless outside of a clinical context. Your doctor will explain what the MRI means in terms of your symptoms.
