[|Human|] L5-S1 shows musky dark T2 disc signal and moderate disc narrowing. There is a small disc bulge midly indenting the dural sac. The proximal S1 root sleeves are midly deformed on the right and moderately deforming the left. The disc bulge extends into the left forearm with mild narrowing without root sleeve deformity. There is mild hypertrophy.
[|AI|]  Hello dear, Your MRI report is showing L5-S1 disc prolapse with mild compression over spinal cord covering and mild foraminal stenosis. This is early stage with low risk of damage to nerves and can be managed on Chat Doctor.  Surgery at this stage may not be required. You need to consult a neurologist or neurosurgeon for proper advice and treatment. You may try pregabalin, gabapentin or amitriptyline in adequate doses for low back pain relief. Hope you found the answer helpful. Wishing you good health
