Back pain: need translation from doctorese

My lower back has been screwed up for years. I've tried chiropractors and massage, and it seemed to actually make it worse. This weekend is was really bad, so I finally went to the doctor.

Here is the report
Quote:
No significant findings are noted on your recent low back x-ray. You do have multiple level arthritis. Please work with physical therapy as planned.

No compression fracture noted.
[...]
Impression
Mild discogenic degenerative changes.
[...]
** FINDINGS **:
Technique: AP, lateral, views of the lumbar spine were obtained.

There is preservation of the normal lumbar lordosis. The vertebral body heights as well as the disc space heights are preserved throughout. Spurring about the disc spaces can be seen at multiple levels
