MRI results on lower back

For me to answer your question I would have to google some of the terminology so I reckon you could do that? Without doing so I am fairly sure that a bulging disc resembles an exploding doughnut (learned that from the Supervet), that radial means spreading from a central point, joint facet arthropathy relates (I think) to OA, herniation is another kind of bulge, nerves are not being impinged by the torn/displaced stuff, the Ls are the lumbar vertebrae. Foramina are holes that allow structures to pass from one bony area to another and an annular tear is a rip in a ligament. I don't think there's anything particularly unusual in those results but I am not a doc, just an arthritic who reads far too much about other people, a habit I am trying to break. Good luck and please let us know how you get on once you have seen someone. DD
