Hello,
The MRI report says that you have a disc bulge: the cushions between the vertebra, one of them is displaced and this is causing a pinch on the nerve that comes out at the side of that vertebra.
This might explain if you have pain that is affecting your back or your limbs (arms or legs).
I hope I have answered to your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards,
Antoneta Zotaj
