Ligamentum flavum hypertrophy?

Hi,After an MRI scan the report says “facet joint ligamentum flavum mild hypertrophy L3 -L5”. The trainee doc who reviewed this is a moron who didn’t answer my questions. Basically I need to know:1) layman explanation of this diagnosis.2) What are the consequences of this injury.3) How to heal / speed up healing process?4) How long does it take to heal?Cheers
