I'm really concerned about what they found in my X-ray. It mentions something about bilateral sacralization of L5. The report says the pedicles, interpedicular distances, spinous and transverse processes are normal, and the intervertebral disc spaces aren't reduced. Can you help me understand if this is something I should be worried about?
