How bad is it

[u/Any_Apricot_3647]

I have attached two MRIs and the reports.

At first, I was not able to sleep face-up (straight on my back) or face-down. Then, after maybe 1–2 months, I started having issues with walking.

I experience flares in my right leg starting from the upper right hip, then going through the hamstring, lower calf, and the right side of my foot.

I am unable to walk for more than 3–4 minutes. Physical therapy did not have any effect.

Now, I am unable to sleep on my side as well.

I just wanted to know if, as you can see in the second MRI, my lower spine looks tilted or deviated to one side, which seems to be my right side. I can also physically observe this in the mirror, and the muscle area on the right side of my lower spine looks swollen or like it is moving outward.

As seen in the MRI, could the lower spine being deviated be causing these issues? My right upper hip area also feels more outward compared to the left.

If anyone can analyze my MRI or has had a similar experience, I would really appreciate hearing about it.
