A member asked:

Orthopedic/radiology question: an mri report notes severe stenosis at l5-s1 but there are minimal physical symtoms as a result. can you explain why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treat the patient: In all medicine, always treat the patient, not the imaging study or laboratory results. If you do not have any symptoms, the stenosis likely is not clinically significant. Always seek the medical attention of a local provider.
