what they are talking about is the areas of your spine... the L is your lumbar which is in the mid back range, the S is near your tailbone area. and the spondylosis is talking about the fullness of each vertabrae (meaning if it has more solid areas than hole areas. stenosis is hardening of an area as far as the thecal sac I dont know.

Well, THANK YOU, Barbara. I always wondered what was 'S' and what was 'L'. I wonder why they didn't just start at the very top vertabrae and go to the bottom with the numbering? Sure would make it easier for ME to understand.

Love,
