These changes causing canal stenosis as well as enchorachment on neural foramens & nerve root sleeves.

Whoever gave u the report should have taken the time to explain the findings to you. Unless there is a doctor reading the questions on here, I`m afraid u r not going to get an explanation of the MRI impressions nor should u rely on the answers u do get. By all accounts have the doctor that ordered the test, give u the meanings of all 4 impressions found. Do not rely on non-medical people for a diagnosis.

Well, it looks like you have damaged some of the disks that cushion your spine and you have a fracture in one of those spinal pieces caused by osteoporosis. As to the other stuff, I can't help you. Why didn't your doctor help you with the reading of this diagnosis? That's what you're paying him for.
