What the radiology report indicates is that you've got a herniated disk at the L4/5 vertebrae, which is pressing forward into the spinal cord passageway. The foramen is the narrow passage in the vertebrae where the spinal cord runs through.

Is there a link between foraminal narrowing and multiple sclerosis?
No, foraminal narrowing and MS are not related, although they can produce the same symptoms. Foraminal narrowing is a condition in which there is narrowing of the spinal column, causing compression of the vertebrae and the nerves which protrude from them. Symptoms can sometimes mimic MS, with numbness and tingling in the extremeties. MS is an autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks nerve cells, leaving behind scars (or scleroses). These areas of "demyelination" transmit signals less efficiently than normal, causing many varied symptoms, depending on the location of the actual demyelination. Thus, "Multiple Sclerosis" means "many scars."
What is central disc herniation at L4-5 associated with concentric disc bulging and mild narrowing of the right and left neural foramen?
