Default Glad to have found you

I Had MRI's of all three parts of my spine. They say the cervical is normal but thats not possible because I had surgery there in 1998, that should show.

It shows normal thoracic spine they say.

The lumbar is different. It says there are significant chronic end plate reactive
changes at L3/4 and L4/5. Advanced disc disease at L3/4 and 4/5. At the 3/4 there is a mild broad based bulge of the annular disc remnant and a more focal left paracentral disc protrusion.

L4/5 is desiccated and moderately reduced in height. There is a mild broad based bulge of the annular disc, minimally abutting the anterior margin of the thecal sac. There are mild facet hypertrophic changes at L3/4, 5/6 and L5-S1.

Can anyone tell me what this means?
