Does L4 L5 and L3-L4 mild disc bulges slightly efface ventral subarachnoid space mean there are herniated discs?

No. Disc herniations are different from disc bulges. The disc herniations are generally more focal and the nucleus of the disc (jelly like substance in the center of the disc) has pushed through the outer layers of the annular fibers. Disc herniations also may contain is contain other particles such as bone fragments, cartilage fragments. In case of a disc bulge disc material are contained within the boundaries of annular fibers which is the tough outer layer of the disc.

What part of the earth bulges?

Is Earth in the shape of a circle?
No, it slightly bulges at the equator, and is a bit flat on the North and South Poles.
What can happen if an intervertebral disk is hernieated?
As the spinal disc becomes less elastic, it can rupture. When the disc ruptures, a portion of the spinal disc pushes outside its normal boundary--this is called a herniated disc. When a herniated disc bulges out from between the vertebrae, the spinal nerves and spinal cord can become pinched. There is normally a little extra space around the spinal cord and spinal nerves, but if enough of the herniated disc is pushed out of place, then these structures may be compressed.
What planet has a bulge in its axis?
Most planets have equatorial bulges due to their rotation causing them to have a slightly oblate spheroid shape. Earth has an odd bulge at its north pole, making it slightly "pear shaped."
What does a herniated disk feel like?
When the disk bulges or herniates, it can put pressure on nerves which originate in the spinal column, and go to other parts of the body. This causes lower back pain, and/or pain to the hips, legs, arms, shoulders, and neck.
Why does earth have mean diameter?
Plate tectonics, rotation, and gravitational pull of the Sun, shift the Earth slightly, so that the Earth bulges near the Equator.
What bulges for close vision?
A lens bulges for close vision. Taking a close look at the eye in a mirror and one will see that the eye does indeed appear to be bulging forward slightly. This allows us to be ablow to see objects a little more closely when they're near us.
How tall is Brian Bulges?

Why Will a man weigh more at the North Pole than he weighs at the equator?
Because the earth is not a perfect sphere and bulges slightly at the equator you are further from the centre of the earth and you would weigh very slightly less at the equator than at the poles.
When was Brian Bulges born?
Brian Bulges was born on April 21, 1984, in USA.
