[|AI|]  Hello, Your MRI result shows that you have aging changes of the disks in the back. The most notable is at L4/L5 level (lower back) where disk changes and soft tissue changes are likely to be causing pressure on some of your nerves. The pain in the thigh and calf may be due to compression of the nerves in the lower back. In my practice, I would advocate for physiotherapy with pain medication to reduce the effect of the disk on the back. If there is no improvement after a number of months (approximately 6), then I would refer you to a spinal surgeon for surgical treatment of the condition. Get well soon!
