L4-L5 mild posterior annular relaxation refers to a slight change or bulging in the annulus fibrosus, the outer layer of an intervertebral disc located between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. This condition may indicate some degree of disc degeneration or stress, potentially leading to Back pain or discomfort. It is considered mild, suggesting that it may not be causing significant issues or symptoms at this stage. However, it is important to monitor and manage any associated symptoms.

Severe spinal stenosis at the L4-L5 level means there is significant narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, specifically affecting the area between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. This narrowing can compress the spinal cord and nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking. It often results from age-related changes, such as degenerative disc disease or arthritis. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of symptoms and impact on daily life.
The only treatment I know of that works for someone post surgery (as long a there were no rods or screws put in) is DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. It is a fairly new treatment that is now used all over the world that has a very high success rate and no side effects. I know from personal experience that this treatment is truly amazing and now that it's available I hope anyone considering surgery try this 1st.
