welcome to Health care magic. 1.The report states that - there is disc bulge posteriorly and causing mass effect on the theca sac ( effect on the spinal chord). 2.Similar bulge at the level of L5-S1 causing mass effect on the theca sac. 3.Yes, you have to worry - but its not life threatening. 4.Initially simple back exercise to physiotherapy is tried initially. 5.Lastly the treatment of choice is operative / interventional procedure to treat. Hope it helps you. Wish you a good health. Anything to ask ? do not hesitate. Thank you.
