mri report without film, herniated disc T7-T8 & L4-L5

I am trying to find other MRI report, without film to compare with my own MRI reports. I have herniated disc in both parts of my spine, T7-T8 & L4-L5. both are moderate to severe in nature and would be interested in comparing to other reports with same areas ans same damage. The disc between L4-L5 in bulging by 5mm and T7-T8 4mm. I am not sure if those are alot or not, but I know I am in pain all day.

Thanks !!!
Eddie

As your report stated, the size of your herniated discs is moderate to severe.  You would be in pain because the discs or something else is pressing on nerves.  The farther they travel out from the snug fit between your vertebrae and adventure out away from your spine, the more likely they will be pressing on nerves, but some people with herniated discs will have pain and others may be asymptomatic.
