Please explain in laymen's terms the following:

Sagittal and axial T1 and T2W images performed

There is dehydration and disc space narrowing at the L5=S1 level. Axial secions show no significant abnormality at L3-4 or L4-5. At L5-S1 there is broadbased disc prolapse slightly worse on the righ with significant narrowing of the right nural exit foramen. There is also a small central disc component just in contact with the left ventral sac and possibly the left S1 root.
 
Jane:

You'll want to post on the Back Pain board. Most of the discussions here surround cervical (neck) spinal issues.

Also, what symptoms do you have? The most important part of an MRI is if what is found matches your symptoms.
