Back and buttock pain.Pls explain my MRI

Question

Asked for Male, 40 Years

I got MRI done which says At l5 S1, there is a mild diffuse disc bulge causing mild thecal indentation. The left l5 and S1 nerve roots are partly conjoined resulting in higher course of S1 and lower course of l5 at the lateral recess and exit foremen respectively. These together result in mild impingement of both the l5 and S1 nerve roots.
