Thank you for the reply. I have sent/faxed my MRI and report to you. My pain is low on the spine (sacroiliac/buttocks). I was told there didn’t appear to be a disc problem on the MRI but the main concern was the arthritic facet (hypertrophy) at L5-S1 causing nerve compression. I would really appreciate any clarification with my diagnosis/symptoms. I would like to find out my options of how to move foward. Thanks again for your time.
