[|Human|] I have a 17 year old son that has never had any back injuries except in 2003 he had guillian barre syndrom. Here recently I have been noticing reports that he has small subligamentous disc herniation L4/S1, small disc herination L5, radicualopathy and diffuse disc buldge L4/5. What exactly does this mean and for his age?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome to Ask a Doctor service! Regarding your concern, I would explain that these changes could be related to weight lifting or vitamin D deficiency. Is he obese or overweight? This could explain these MRI findings. I would also recommend checking vitamin D plasma levels and performing a lot of physical exercise, in order to help reinforce his back muscles. Hope to have been helpful! Wishing all the best,
