One of my chums had an MRI (for something unrelated to his back) and the (negative) report remarked on a lot of degenerative spinal pathology.
He was horrified and rushed off to consult one of our spinal surgeons who looked at it and shrugged saying, "Most people over 40 have spines that look like that, if we were to operate on all of them we'd never stop! If you don't have any significant symptoms then forget it."
As Ginger says, don't medicalise a minor problem.
Treat the patient, not the X-Ray
