I had a Mri and the report says L4-L5 Diffuse disk bulge is present which may be in contact with the exiting bilateral L4 nerve roots. Degenerative changes are noted in the faucet joints with fluid in the joints bilaterally. What does this mean? I also have a presumed right nerve sheath cyst present at T12-L1. what does this mean?
Dear Friend, First we need to know why u got an MRI. Disc bulges can be seen in asymptomatic patients, disease on MRI shut correlate with clinical picture only then it is significant. Now if you are actually symptomatic this MRI pic suggests this degeneration with chronic instability at this level, principal cyst is probably incidental finding. IF your very symptomatic consult Neuronal surgeon. Regards
