Report Summary

ProcedureMultiplanar multisequential MRI scans of the lumbar spine were obtained.

SexNot specified

Age58

Date24/10/2025

Finding(s)

Normal

Reason for the Scan

You have long‑term lower back wear and tear (lumbar spondylosis). The scan checks your lower back bones, discs, and nerve tunnels for pinching.

Procedure Details

MRI (magnet pictures) of your lower back with thin slices was done in several views. No dye was used.

Important Findings

The normal inward curve of your lower back is reduced.
The spine bones (vertebrae) keep normal height and line up well.
The cushions between bones (discs) keep normal height and water content.
Between the 4th and 5th bones in your lower back, a disc bulges backward.
At that same level, both side nerve tunnels (foramina) are severely narrowed, which can pinch nerves.
The main spinal canal stays open with no narrowing.
The spinal cord tail (conus) ends normally at the level of the first lumbar bone (L1).
Nearby soft tissues look normal. No joint fluid or thickened back ligaments are seen.

Conclusion

A bulging disc at L4/L5 severely narrows both nerve tunnels, likely pinching nerves. Your lower back curve is reduced; the main canal is open.

Note of Concern

See your spine or pain specialist soon to plan care. Likely steps include medicines, physical therapy, and image‑guided nerve or epidural shots. If severe leg pain, new numbness, weakness, or trouble peeing or pooping starts, go to the hospital now.
