Example Input:

“MRI shows a 4mm herniated disc at L4-L5 impinging on the right nerve root. Mild degenerative changes noted. No spinal stenosis.”

Example Output:

“Your back MRI shows that one of the soft cushions between your spine bones — called a disc — has slightly bulged out in the lower back. This small bulge (about the size of a pea) is pressing on a nearby nerve, which is likely why you feel pain or tingling in your right leg.

The good news: there’s no major narrowing of the spinal canal, and most people recover with rest, light exercise, and physical therapy.

Next Steps: Try gentle stretching, apply heat, and avoid heavy lifting. Your doctor might suggest physiotherapy or short-term pain relief medication.

When to Call Your Doctor: If you notice severe weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control.”
