Interpretation : Radiologist interpretation can vary between doctors. For persistent symptoms of back and/or leg pain, consider referral to a spine specialist who can relate the images to your symptoms.

See below: Very mild stenosis and spondylosis (arthritis) can be considered "mild degenerative changes". The grade 1 slippage (spondylolisthesis) may be very subtle. The bottom line is that radiologists that read the mris can differ in their wording. What's most important is that you have your spine evaluated by a spine specialist (physiatrist or anesthesia pain doc) to make sure you're okay.
