I've got a referral from a medical advisor that my MRI demonstrates small disc protrusion at L5/s1 and degeneration causing mild stenosis and impingement of left s1 nerve root; Ganglion noted at left L4/5 interlamonar joint in combination with disc bulge to potentially compromise the left L5 nerve root; annular tears are seen at L2/3 and L3/4.
