Have been having constant severe lower back pain for past 7 years with increasing numbness/weakness down right leg. I have asked my doctor for many years to please order an MRI so we can see what is going on. He says over and over that it is not needed. He finally relented about a week ago, as I am now (as of a few months back) in a wheelchair 24/7 due to unbearable back pain. My doctor has given me nothing for pain nor ever given me any type of muscle relaxers. He said it best, "to tough it out". He also will not refer me to specialist as he says this is not necessary either..
Results of my MRI:

"L1-L2: No significant disc bulge. No spinal canal stenosis or neuroforaminal narrowing.

L3-L4: Diffuse disc bulge with superimposed right subarticular zone disc extrusion, with approximately 11 mm caudal migration of disc material.
There is bilateral facet arthropathy and facet effusions. There is spinal canal stenosis, primarily secondary to disc bulge. There is narrowing of the lateral recesses bilaterally, with abutment of the descending right L4 nerve roots.
There is severe right neural foraminal narrowing.

L4-L5: Broad-based disc bulge. There is moderate bilateral facet arthropathy. There is moderate right neural foraminal narrowing.

L5-S1: Broad-based disc bulge.. Moderate bilateral facet arthropathy with facet effusions bilaterally. Moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing, greater the right.

S1-S2: Broad-based disc bulge. Severe bilateral facet arthropathy, with a left facet effusion. Extraforaminal synovial cysts are noted to project anterolaterally from the left facet joint, with significant encroachment upon the exiting nerve roots. There is an additional small synovial cyst projecting inferiorly from the facet joint. Mild right and moderate left neural foraminal narrowing."
END OF MRI REPORT.

Please, please help. I don't know where to turn, and I don't even begin to understand the MRI results. My doctor just told me , "Nothing to worry about."
But pain increases daily and I have no quality of life.
