Lumbosacral MRI, of a 28-year-old man with 3 years history of LBP without sciatica, BMI = 29, there is disc bulge at L3/4 down to L5/S1 level. No neural canal stenosis. Average VAS score = 4. Axial cuts revealed grade 0 MS degeneration at L3/4 level, grade 1 MS degeneration at L4/5 level and grade 2 MS degeneration at L5/S1 level, MS = 3. MS = 1.154 + (0.017*Age) + (0.184* duration years) + (0.081* Sciatica) + (0.287* VAS). According to MS equation, the expected MS = 3.3
