question: Hi I am a 31 year old female and have had chronic back pain now for 2 years, I had a Mri scan in november which gave the following results - consis L1 normal, dehydration of the two lower lumber discs is noted. disk protrusion L4/5 and L5/s1. central disc bulging noted L4/5 indenting the theca. loss of lordosis. Have had a course of physiotherapy and accupunture, gp thinks either spinal injections or surgery best way forward, though none of these findings have really been explained to myself
