[|Human|] My MRI scan has just shown that I have a slight dehydrated disc L5/S1.... He says this is a good diagnosis and could have been much worse..... Aiave read so many bad things on this today and getting increasingly concerned it wont get better... Can you give me information on this please ?? May I add I apparently only have slight dehydration if this makes any difference ??
[|AI|]  Disc deny Chat Doctor.  MRI is dependent on water content of tissues and that is why they report it on MRI. You should not be too much worried about it. No one can stop or reverse aging. !. What you need to do is to have a good exercise routine including spinal muscle strengthening exercises. And maintain proper posture while sitting or working. Physiotherapist can help you in this regard. Do not get scared by reading a lot of material on internet. See a qualified spine surgeon for proper evaluation and guidance if you have any significant symptoms. Take care.
