[|Human|] My father s MRI detail are Age =45 Observation: 1.Loss of lumber lordosis is noted 2.No other remarkable vertebral abnormality is seen 3.Neural foramina and facet joints are normal 4.Sagittal diameter of bony spinal canal measures as follow L1=14mm,L2-13mm,L3=12mm,L4=12mm,L5=12mm. 5. Diffuse annular bulgings of L3-L4, L4-L5 disk are noted causing effacement of epidural fat. 6. The Thecal sac shows normal signal characteristics. 7. Visualized portion of the spinal cord is normal 8. Paraspinal soft tissues are normal Impressions: 1. Paraspinal muscle spasm. 2. Diffuce annular bulgings of L3-L4,L4-L5 disks causing effacement of epidural fat. please doctor suggest me treatment
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. Your MRI findings are explained below in simple language.1. Loss of lumber lordosis is notedThere is a spasm of muscles in lower back.2. No other remarkable vertebral abnormality is seethe bones of lower back are normal3. Neural foramina and facet joints are normalPassages of nerves is normal4. Sagittal diameter of bony spinal canal measures as follows L1=14mm,L2-13 mm,L3=12mm,L4=12mm,L5=12mm. The canal containing the spinal cord is normal.5. Diffuse annular bulging of L3-L4, L4-L5 disk are noted causing effacement of epidural fat. Mild disc bulges are noted at L 3 - L 4 and L 4 - L 5 levels. This is a mild degenerative change.6. The Thecal sac shows normal signal characteristics. The sac containing spinal cord is normal.7. Visualized portion of the spinal cord is normalSpinal cord is normal in lower back regions8. Para spinal soft tissues are normalSoft tissues on both sides of spine are normal. In conclusion, you have mild degenerative disc changes with muscle spasm in lower back. This is treated with ointments containing pain reliever and muscle relaxants. Please do not worry.
