A member asked:
My mri reads: modic type i curvilinear trabecular stress response/hyperemia at l4-5. what does that mean. i have had low back pain with leg and feet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Modic changes: describe various stages of vertebral body end plate marrow changes in the progression of degenerative disc disease. It could potentially be associated with pain, but not the leg/foot pain you describe, because it doesn't involve nerve roots.
