what is disc protrusion in the right neural foramen abutting right L5 nerve root
You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.
I've got the same problem but with a right sided protrusion, my osteopath and sports rehab therapist are confident i can stabilise it with yoga, swimming and area specific strengthening exercises! will let you know....

Paracentral disc protrusion is a disorder of the spine that causes neck and back pain. An intervertebral disc is swollen or bulging and is putting pressure on the nerve roots when you are diagnosed with this disorder.
absolutely. and it's going to be painful.
Nerve root effacement refers to nerve root compression. This is an issue where the root of the nerve is compressed into the spine before exiting it, which can cause some painful back symptoms.
You may have a disc protrusion at L4-5 or L5-S1 which is impinging on the nerve(s).
Narrowing of the neural formina at the C7- 1 was a narrowing of the spinal canal where the nerve roots exit. This can occur with or without disc protrusion.
Can a "severe left foraminal disc osteophyte complex and contact of the exiting C6 nerve" cause problems with vomiting?
Perineural cysts appear to be dilated or ballooned areas of the sheaths that cover nerve roots exiting from the sacral area of the spine
Sounds like a (1) bulging disc, or (2) herniated disc. The disk is a hard rubbery "shock absorber" located between each veterbrae. They have a tendency to bulge --like mashing a marshmellow--as we get older and the stretching of the nerve fibers within the disc can cause chronic pain. A herniation is where the disk bulges out in such a way that the part "bulging" puts pressure on a nerve root exiting between each vertebrae. This causes terrible pain to radiate down the arm, and if chronic can cause weakness (and waisting) in certain muscles in the arm on the affected side.
