MRI Report

2020-07-30 10:06:45
My MRI read " MRI Lumbar spine reveals early degenerative spondylotic changes with diffuse annular disc bulge with posterocentral disc protrusion at L5-S1 level indenting the thecal sac and encroaching the bilateral intervertebral foramina with compression of traversing nerve roots at this level." Is it serious? I am going to show this report after 2 days to Doctor.
