A member asked:
Please explain lumbar mri -there is a narrowing of the lateral recesses, particularly on the right but without displacement of traversing nerve roots.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumbar MRI findings: The explanation means early degeneration is causing compression of the spinal fluid sack, but is not putting pressure on the nerves. The results would not explain leg pain, but may cause back pain. Please review with the ordering physician to correlate your symptoms.
