The L4 and L5 levels refer to the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. "Flattening of the posterior margin of the disc" suggests that the intervertebral disc between these vertebrae is losing its normal curve, which can indicate degeneration or herniation. This flattening may lead to increased pressure on surrounding structures, potentially causing pain or discomfort. It often signifies a need for further evaluation or treatment to address any related symptoms.
