Hello
I need some help examining these x-ray pictures of a spine since I can't decipher some parts of the summary my doctor wrote. I know there is 48 degree angle kyphosis. It says something about L5 disc and later about L5-S1 discs. Maybe there are other problems aswell?
Thank you in advance

There id definitely a big curvature in the first pic but you can't tell if you have a prolapsed or bulging disc from an X-ray. The height of the disc spaces look normal to my layman's eye.

When you talk about disc spaces, prolapses and bulges you are reffering to the L5 and L5-S1 part?

Not sure how your doctor has given a diagnosis on your lumbar area with an X-ray only a mri scan will give an accurate diagnosis that's very vague description you have given though

Unfortunately it's impossible for anyone to tell from the X-ray what the other writings about. Unless, you can take a picture of the writing and copy it in here? If you have it!

I have it, but it's not in english( Lithuanian) . I guess if there aren't any clearly noticable propblems from x-ray pictures, besideds kyphosis that there is not much to worry about, right? I hope an orthopedic wil shed some light on these things. As for Kyphosis, is it severe? What about a correction?
