In a nut shell and plain English, the MRI picked up some formation on your uterus, possibly a fibroid, keep an eye on that. Foraminal Stenosis are the little holes in your vertebrae where the nerve roots (Wires) run through. Over time these will narrow thus creating pressure on the nerve roots. When these openings narrow they place pressure on the nerves creating pain. Spinal Stenosis is the narrowing of space around the spinal cord. Both of these, look fine. So L1 thru L4-5 disks are in good condition. Now L5-S1 disk seems to have a Herniation in which they are calling it a bulge. You indicated that you are taking Percocet. This medication blocks the pain signals from reaching to your brain, which indicates to me that this is a nerve issue, if the pain is relieved somewhat after you take this medication. The L-5 ,S1 disk is where the sciatic nerve (main Nerve) branches off from your spinal cord going down both legs. This bulge is probably pressing against this nerve causing you pain (burning like sensation) in the , and down your leg. This is where your problem probably is. This is called sciatica. Usually the Dr reading the MRI will state in mm how large the bulge is, but not here. Overtime, becaus
