Brief Answer: The details are explained below. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your MRI spine findings. First of all, I would like to reassure you that these are minor abnormalities and there is no need to worry about them. The findings suggest that there is bulging of discs (soft tissue located between two bones of spine) at two levels in lower back, causing compression of the nerves that come out at that place. As a result, you may experience low back pain and leg pain. Initial treatment consists of physiotherapy and back extension exercises. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
