Hello Everybody, thanks all for sharing so much informations here, we are not alone. please somebody help me to understand my MRI.

My MRI says L4/L5 there is a moderate bilateral facet joint osteoarthritis with subchondral sclerosis and trace joint effusions.
plus in my L5/S1 there DDD with a 3mm degerative anterolisthesis. there is a small posterior bulge. there is a severe right and moderate left joint arthorosis. also there is a mild left neural foraminal stenosis with minimal impingement upon the exiting left L5 nerve root by the hypertrophied left facet joint.

My symptoms are lower back pain, hip/quadriceps burning pain left/right, hamstrings burning pain, left/righ. it's hard to do activities, my legs get so weak specially going for long walks.

I tried ESP it did not help, I may go for another one. I dont know which of the injures is causing my leg pain so much.

please some help..
thank you ALL
