[|Human|] I had a MRI and the results are saying - there is a posterior broad-based bulging disc extending into the neural foramina bilaterally. This flattens the ventral thecal sac. There are severe facet degenerative changes with facet hypertrophy. Moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing is notes. Can you please help me understand? Thanks!
[|AI|]  Hello! Thank you for the question on Chat Doctor! The result of your MRI is indicative for chronic degenerative disc and vertebral changes. These changes can cause chronic back pain. I would recommend you to consult with the neurosurgeon if surgery is helpful. If you have chronic pain I would recommend a lot of physiotherapy. Gabapentine or Amitriptyline for some months can cause pain relief. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes!
