Herniation at L4-5 which abuts and displaces the L5 nerve root?
disc is herniated ( sticks out further than what its supposed to meaning it sticks out past your vertebrates) and it has your nerve pinched. I'm going to guess that you have leg pain as well right? lol had the same problems, just had a L5 S1 fusion
Pain in your upper leg?
As described in the discussion area, and from personal experience, this could be a pinched nerve at L4 or L5. Of course, a physician would need to diagnose such. The only treatment that has helped me has been injections of steroids along my spine at a pain clinic.
Will plantar fascia surgery help relieve sciatica pain?
Absolutely not. Though the pain is felt in the legs and foot, the Sciatic nerve and resulting pain from it is due to nerve compression from the L4/L5 or L5/S1 disk on the nerve itself. Operating on the wrong body part won't do anything but make you feel worse.As a person with a long history of spinal and pain problems, I will also tell you that you should NEVER consider surgery for back pain unless you are at the point where there are no other options available.
Sciatica reflects neuritis in a nerve from the?
Nerve root outlet of the spinal cord, most often between L4-L5 or L5-S1.
What is the cause of the numbness from your hip to your leg?
You may have a disc protrusion at L4-5 or L5-S1 which is impinging on the nerve(s).
What is Nerve root clumping at L4 L5 and L5 S1?
Nerve root clumping is usually indicative of arachnoiditis, a painful, progressive spinal condition. Please research arachnoiditis.
The sciatic nerve is composed of what two nerves?
the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve:Common Peroneal Nerve, comprised of nerve fibers from L5, S1, S2, and S3.Tibial Nerve comprised of nerve fibers from L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3)
When I am doing a handstand into a somersault the left side of my back hurts which goes to your leg what is wrong?
The most likely cause is a lower back disc problem (usually the disc between L4 and L5, or the disc between L5 and S1 ... L stands for lumbar vertebra, and S stands for sacral vertebra). The disc presses on the nerve root outlet, and this causes pain to go down the leg. If the disc presses the left nerve root outlet from the spine, then the pain will be felt in the left leg. If the disc presses the right nerve outlet from the spine, the the pain will be felt in the right leg. Accurate diagnosis involves a CT scan or MRI (but you may not even need one, if the pain doesn't occur in your normal everyday life). The best treatment is to avoid the movements which cause pain, and to do back exercises provided by your physician. Only in extreme cases is surgery helpful (which shouldn't be needed in your case, because the pain only occurs in particular postions). In any case, check with your doctor about what do next, in your particular case.

L4,l5,s1,s2,s3
What is ; bilateral significant foraminal Narrowing with compression of the exiting L5 nerve roots?
The corona
What is perineural fat around the existing L5 root?
You probably mean exiting L5 spinal nerve--the nerve root ends at the DRG inside the lateral foramen. It is fatty tissue within the neuroforamen. Outside the foramen there is typically muscle.
