[|AI|]  Hi, Your MRI spine describes the various features of degeneration of spine and vertebral body. Thecal sac is the space where roots from spinal cord comes out which is mildly indented. Hypertrophy facet is thickening and enlargement of joints between vertebra called facets. Modic type2 end plated indicated degeneration of spine. Your back pain is mainly due to facet hypertrophy and, thecal sac indentation. You need to use lumbosacral belt. Consult neurologist or a neurosurgeon for neuralgic Chat Doctor. If symptoms still persisting then go for thecal steroid injection
