Question

I've just gotten my MRI results and I'm feeling anxious about what it all means. It says there's a diffuse disc bulge at L4-L5 causing thecal sac indentation and compression of both existing nerve roots. Also, at L5-S1, it mentions a similar disc bulge with indentation and nerve compression including bilateral neural foramina. I'm worried about what kind of symptoms or issues this could lead to. Could you explain what this might mean for my health and what steps I should take next?
