Got X-Ray Results Back - what does this mean?

Hello all,

I know your not a doctor but what does this mean ... lol. I had numerous x-rays earlier and obviously my spine has problems. Any help translating would be extremely helpful. Did anyone else have similar results? Is this related to AS or related Spondylitis? I have italicized the parts I am slightly confused about.

Thank you in advance.

RAD/SPINE LUMBER 4 VIEWS

Findings: The vertebral body and heights and alignment are preserved. There are mild degenerative changes of the lower lumber spine, as evidenced by mild joint space narrowing and mild endplate spurring. No acute fracture or subluxation is identified. The sacroiliac joints are grossly symmetrical.

Is my sacroilic normal or no? I hate the wording they use. So confusing.

There a multilevel degenerative changes of the spine, as evidenced by disc space narrowing, endplate sclerosis and spurring, and hypertrophic changes of the posterior elements.

I also had a cervical x-ray done but that came back normal ... I was shocked about that one. I supposed to go get an MRI of my spine also as soon as my insurance approves it.

Had appointment today and it went well he gave me anti-inflammatories and robaxin. The robaxin seems to helping the lower pain but not the upper back pain.

Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise with the xray results. It is so GREATLY APPRECIATED!
