Hi,

Thank you for sending the MRI reports and posting your query.

These reports show only minor abnormalities and there is no need to worry.

Mild degenerative changes are seen in the lumbar vertebral bones (located in the lower back), which are common in people above 40 (and sometimes younger people too), especially those with sedentary lifestyle.

Treatment consists of physiotherapy and back extension exercises.

Please get back if you require any additional information.



Best wishes,
