It means a piece of your disk has broken off completely form the rest of the disk, and it is pressing on a nerve root that branches off from your spinal cord.

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.
Neur- is the word root for neuritis, meaning inflammation of a nerve.
yes. the nerves in your body all go to your spine, then to your brain. if this nerve intersects with L3 OR L4, it will inflame the disk. the knees' nerves correspond to your lumbar discs, so the nerve in the knees leads directly to the lumbars and can cause disc inflammation if the pain was extremely great.
Vagotomy is the medical term meaning surgical incision of the vagus nerve.
Compromise of a nerve root essentially means that the bones in the spine are pressing against a nerve in a manner that is not normal. This pressure typically results in pain.
Disease of nerve roots is called radiculopathy. nerve root is part of the nerve that exits from spinal cord. radiculopathy can be caused by disc or some diseases like diabetes can cause inflammation of nerve root.
