A disc herniation can be serious because it can cause severe pain and loss of feeling in your arms and legs. This kind of herniation basically means the rubbery cushion between the bones has moved out of its proper place.
This is called a broad based disc herniation
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
A T1-T2 disc herniation is a herniation that happens in the middle or lower back. This will cause extreme pain and possible numbness in the limbs.
Yes.
A herniated disc
Growing scientific evidence also points to genetic factors in disc herniation, especially in families with a history of predisposition to early-onset sciatica and disk herniation.
When a disc herniates, the jellylike substance pushes through and causes the harder outer ring (annulus fibrosus) to compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. Herniation of a vertebral disc can cause varying degrees of pain
No, a bulge and a herniation are not the same thing. A bulge refers to a generalized extension of the intervertebral disc beyond its normal confines, while a herniation involves a more focal or localized displacement of disc material that may compress nearby nerves.
i was diagnosed august 25 and after many different antibiotics and it is still just as bad as the day i left the hospita l
Because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides sharp, clear images of bones, discs, nerves, and soft tissues, it is the best test to show disc herniation and nerve compression.
it means that your disc is slightly bulged. which means it sticks out further than it should between your vertebrates
