What does loss of intervertebral disc height and right sided broad -based disc bulge mean? thankyou.

Just an IMAGE: MRI is just an image. It is done to confirm a clinical diagnosis. Is it normal? No. Does it matter? It depends on the reason why your doctor referred you for this study. And it is sure NOT a reason to get upset.
