I finally found out why my legs are going weak. Doctor did an MRI

This si MRI report

IMPRESSION:
1. Multilevel lumbar spondylosis on a background of congenital lumbar spinal stenosis and mild prominence of the epidural fat combines to yield varying degrees of central narrowing from L2 through L5.
2. L4-5: A diffuse disc bulge eccentric to the left combined with facet arthropathy mildly narrows the left neural foramen and mildly narrows the right neural foramen. Mild spinal canal stenosis.
3. L3-4: Disc desiccation and shallow diffuse bulge slightly asymmetric to the left resulting in borderline spinal canal stenosis, AP thecal sac measuring 10 mm.
4. L2-3: Shallow diffuse bulge on a background of disc desiccation results in borderline spinal canal stenosis, AP thecal sac measuring about 10 mm in midline.

Not sure what the image looks like cause haven't been there to obtain them.

Hi...wish I knew what all of it means.....so many of us do have disk issues along with stenosis.....it's good they didn't find a syrinx as that can cause weak legs....as can getting a DX of tethered cord.....
