Dear Shellyka,
Thank you for sharing your MRI reports — We’ve reviewed them in detail, and here’s a clear explanation of what they indicate:
🩺 MRI Findings Summary:
You have mild degenerative disc changes in your lower spine (lumbar region).
A disc bulge at the L5-S1 level is pressing on the nerve roots on both sides (bilateral foraminal encroachment).
This can explain your symptoms—back pain radiating to arms, weakness in legs, and tailbone discomfort.
What This Means Medically: The disc bulge is likely compressing nerves that travel to your lower limbs, which may be causing the weakness and radiating pain. This condition is common and treatable.
✅ Next Steps for Treatment:
Consult a spine specialist (orthopaedic or neurosurgeon)
Treatment options may include:
Medication for inflammation and nerve pain
Physiotherapy to strengthen back and core muscles
Posture correction, lifestyle changes, and weight management (if needed)
Epidural injections or minimally invasive procedures, if pain is persistent
Surgery is only performed in rare, severe, or non-responsive cases
