Help needed with discogram report
I recieved my dicsogram report today.

Part of it I do not understand, would anyone be able to translate for me.

The following comes from the bottom of the first page:

It appeats that her pain is probably coming froom the L5-S1 although she does not meet the strict citeria for discogenic pain. Thr radicular pain might be secondary to chemical radiculities from a "leaky" disc since epidural spread was noted with contrast at L4 L5 during discography. The patient was discharged home in stable condition with followup instructions.

The information comes from the followup CT

L3-L4 - Epidural spread was seen secondary to a more asudial level.

L4-L5 - A degenerative grade 3 pattern was evident with epidural spread.

L5-S1 - Contrast was noted within nucleus pulposus. A left posterior annular disruption was noted with marked circumferential spread of contrast within the annulus.

Thank you for taking the time to read this post and any help that may be given.
