L5-S1: There is a broad-based disk bulge with left-sided protrusion at this level resulting in a mild bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing.
[|AI|]  Dear Sir/Madam have gone through your query and read your symptoms. In my opinion, you need not go into tech details, understand this that1 your lower spinal joint where spine ends and pelvis starts is causing you maximum trouble and will probably need surgery to preserve the dying nerve, but this is not the sole cause of your troubles, the joints of the spine called facet joints are having age related changes at multiple levels, and this will only correct by regular exercise, but may require fusion surgery in the future. So for the time being, get surgery for the lowest level if the symptoms are not controlled by therapy. I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
