mri scans

Dear Sarah,
I've had lower back pain for years and have recently begun to address the pain. Following an MRI scan last August I was told that I have diffuse disc bulges between L3/L4 and between L4/L5, and dehydration of the L4/L5 disc. I then underwent five physiotherapy session with no result whatsoever. Almost at the end of my tether I stumbled across your book 'The Back Sufferers Bible', which has given me a renewed sense of hope. However, I can't self diagnose which of the conditions in your book I have.
Thinking it might help, about a week ago I requested a copy of the MRI scans to look at myself, however I have no medical training...
Sorry to be a bother, but could I trouble you to take a look at the MRI scans and give your professional opinion please?
Further, to my untrained eye there appears to be a part of the L5 vertebrae missing (I got quite a shock when i saw this!), however the radiologist who examined the MRI scans made no mention of this. I wonder if perhaps this is the root cause of my pain... perhaps the radiologist missed this? Or is it benign?
Thank you so much for your help,
Brin
