I had back surgery a few years back but am still having problems. I had a ct scan a week ago. Can someone help
I'm surprised the doctor or radiologist didn't decipher this for you. I am not a medical professional, but from what I can tell, there are slight disc bulges in L3-L5. (Each vertebra is given a number according to its position in the spinal column. The disc bulges appear to be on the left side. There is some slight asymmetry, (meaning unevenness) on the right on both sides in the rear of the spine, with scar tissue that creates mild narrowing, and some degenerative changes to the end plates which are beside the discs. The recommendation is that it should be given attention. However, your doctor can give you a more complete description in layman's terms, so please don't hesitate to ask him or her. You have a right to know exactly what the diagnosis is. Good luck!
