Unexpected MRI Results: Degeneration and Bulged Disks

Well I had my follow up appointment to my MRI today. I was honestly expecting the results to be nothing. Instead it turns out I have degeneration in my neck and lower back and bulged disks as well. This is likely the cause of the pain in my back that I’ve been having. My scoliosis has not progressed. A back surgery specialist is going to call me and look at my results to see if surgery is needed. I’m turning 27 in October, I thought these problems started much later in life. I’m a little stunned.
