I had a discectomy on 10/30/10,,,,almost 3 weeks ago, i was fine the first 2 weeks and only had to take advil for the discomfort but then i started getting sever back spasms. It took me 5 hours and alot of meds just to be able to get out of bed one day.

Slight loss of normal lumbar lordosis?
Slight loss of normal lumbar lordosis is a subjective evaluation by the radiologist of the alignment of the lumbar vertebrae which should form a forward facing curve on the lateral x-ray of the lumbar spine. It is a highly subjective evaluation and for the most part, when slight, can not be inferred to have any specific meaning. A normal lumbar spine may seem to have a slight loss of lordosis. Pain, muscle spasm, arthrosis and a host of other conditions may be associated with the finding.

Only four lumbar vertebrae exist in you?
The anatomy books show what are normally seen, five vertebra... There are many variants in anatomy, and someone with four lumbar vertebras isn't abnormal, just someone who is a little different, but still normal. You might have something we call a "transitional" vertebra, such as an extra thoracic vertebra merged into a lumbar, or maybe a lumbar vertebra fused with a sacral vertebra... Still normal...
