My mri report impression- 1. Lumbar lordosis curvature is straightened. 2. Diffuse disc with loss of posterior concavity at l4-l5, l5-s1 and s1-s2 level leading to narrowing of bilateral neural foramina and indentation over anterior thecal sac at these. 3. Lumbarisation of s1 vertebral body. After I showed the mri to my doctor he said that it looks fine and gave me some exercises. It gives some relieve but I still feel pain only at my lower back. I do not think it is sciatica as the pain do not go to the legs. Please help.
