I have the MRI report, it reads:
L3-L4, Mild disk buldge seen. No focal disc herniation.
L4-L5, there is circumferential disk buldge with central disc protrusion. There is arthritic change present involving facets. No canal stenosis.
L5-S1, there is central left paracentral disc protrusion. There is narrowing of the left lateral recess and the origin of the left-sided neural foramen. No canal stenosis. Paraspinal soft tissues are intact.
Impressions: Small disc herniations are seen centrally at the L4-L5 level toward the left at the L5-S1 level.
Would I be a candidate for surgery?
Thank you!
