I Have

I finally called my doc to find out what was wrong with my back besides having DDD. She told me I had...
Degenerative disc in L1-L2 and L5-s1
I have bulging disc L3-L4
herinated disc L2-L3
The Doc also said it's minamile and mild
Does that mean I have a really bad back or does everything have these problems with DDD???? Are Any of those things I mentioned as part of neck

Hi Kara

Did your doctor not go over your MRI and explain things to you? Unfortunately we can't interpret MRI findings.

The part that you posted is all L (which is your lumbar spine) not your neck. It is always good to hear words like mild as oppossed to moderate or severe.

the doc didn't even tell I

the doc didn't even tell I had these things his asstiant told me over the phone the doc won't see me until March he prescribed me PT for 8wks 2-3 times a week I don't really know what's going on and I was suppost to have mri on neck and back but think they only gave me mri on back. I don't know I'm just confused on what's going on but relieved that it's more than ddd because some of the people say ddd don't cause that severe of pain.
