What is lumbar sclerosis?
Scoliosis is thickening or hardening of the bone. The lower lumbar spine is the lower back (Disks L1 - L5). Scoliosis in the lower lumbar spine means you have thickening or hardening of the bone in the lower back (lumbar disks L1-L5).
Are herniated discs a result of scoliosis?
Although scoliosis, or abnormal curvature of the spine, may predispose one to disc herniation, a herniated disc signifies that the disc (or jelly-like cushion between each intervertebral spine) has moved out of place. When the disc moves out of alignment, say at the L4-L5 level, and presses upon a nerve root, pain occurs, often felt in the buttocks or back of the leg (and this would then be termed sciatica).
Is scoliosis the same as degenerative disc diese?
No. It is a curvature of the spine that can be very mild or severe. In severe cases, a metal rod can be implanted along the spine to keep it straight. In mild cases, a simple exercise routine can be used to strengthen the spine.
What is the elastic tissue between each bone in th spine called?
The elastic tissue between each bone in the spine is called as intervertebral disc. It allows movement of vertebral bodies and also acts as shock absorber to the spine.
What is rotatory dextroscoliosis?
I am not a Doctor, but I do suffer from this condition. In layman's terms, the regular (usual) curvature associated with scoliosis is intensified by a rotation and/or a reversal of the curve, generally noticed with visible bone deformity in the ribcage parallel to the spine and noted in MRI with multiple disc disturbances in the thoracic/lumbar spine. It hurts. It is generally inoperable and does degenerate over time. Mine is compounded by degenerative disc disease and multifaceted arthropathy along with spinal stenosis, osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia. I am a 34yr old male of Irish/Norwegian descent. I have no idea if that is relevant, but maybe an inquisitive team of doctors will read about it and contact me with some relief suggestions.Jon OsborneCertified Michigan Medical Marijuana Patientjon@greenkoma.com

A disc is what part of the body?
usually located in the back part of the spine
What is multilevel disc desiccation?
Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
Can you work with a desiccation disc an bulge in spine?
yes
Is contrast always used for MRI of spine?
No, usually contrast agents are not used for MRI of the spine. The most frequent pathology when an spine MRI is requested si discal hernia (lombosciatic, disc protrusion). Then another pathology is searched and/or discovered (tumors, bone lesions), than contrast agent is required for a correct diagnosis.
