Need someone to tell me what these MRI results mean in plain english.

Loss of disc hydration at L2-L3.
L2-L3: 4.5 mm broad based posterior disc protrusion results in bilateral neural foraminal encroachment and abuts existing L2 nerve roots. No stenosis

L3-L4: 3.5 mm broad based left foraminal disc protrusion along with facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy results in left neural foraminal encroachment and abuts the left exiting L3 nerve root. No stenosis.

L4-L5: There is facet and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy.

L5-S1: There is facet hypertrophy. No stenosis.

Thank you.
