Not unless you're dizzy.
This is likely from the post procedure Radiologist's report. What it says is that the CT scan after dye injection and shaking you on the table like a martini (or just rotating you up and down a bit) shows that you have a mild disk bulge at your C6/7 disk (the disk between Cervical (neck) vertebrae 6 and 7, which are fairly low down the neck) doesn't appear to be bulging on the sides (laterally) which could press on a nerve.
Your cervical disks do not affect your walking at all - the cervical area controls and affects your arms, hands, fingers and associated nerves. The legs are controlled by the lumbar area, mid point of the back to the tailbone.
UNLESS the cervical cord is impinged enough to be damaged. Then symptoms can occur anywhere below the level of spinal cord damage.
What do they do for this. It is some kind of operation done?
My husband just got his mri report, at c2-c3 minimal left foraminal, c3-c4-3mm posterior central protrusion,c4-c5-posterior annular bulging, c5-c6prominent posterior bulge/broad based protrusion causing right goraminal stenosis, c6-c7 small posterior protrusion.. He has sever pain in his left arm...what should we do..
hernia develops at place with weakening or absence of muscular covering. it develops when there is an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, causing protrusion of the organs, which can be observed by protrusion of skin. the common sites are: the umbilicus and the inguinal it can also happen internally, in which case, it is called the internal hernia.
With degenerative disc disease, disc bulging occurs with flattening out of the disc and subsequent spreading out. Typical bulging presents symmetrical, but sometimes a protrusion will develop that is eccentric, ie., asymmetrical bulging. An eccentric protrusion will be to one side, in this case left, sometimes causing neurologic symptoms on that side, sometimes not. A protrusion is less than 3 mm, whereas a herniation exceeds 3 mm.
a small protrusion of the disk is caused buy pressure on the spine. speaking to the disk itself if there is a weakened spot in the canula the pressure on that disk is more susceptible to give under the spinal pressure, thus causing it to protrude possibly putting pressure directly on the sciatic nerve.
hi can you help me i had mri the findings, disc degeneration at l2/3 ,l4/5 ,and l5/s1. broad based posterior disc protrusion at l4/5 causing a moderate impression on the anterior theca.very mild posterior disc bulge l5/s1.normal capacity lumbar spinl canal . the foramina are clear .normal conus, what can i do i cant sleep and i cant go out said
That could be either a bulging disc. or a bone spur from degenerative [arthritic] changes to the vertebrae causing a bony spur to press on the cord...
Red drum have black spots just anterior to their caudal fin (tail). In most creatures, this feature serves as a distractor causing predators to strike at the after end of the fish rather than at the anterior (head) end. This improves the drum chances for survival quite considerably.
In the case of head trauma such as fracture of the anterior fossa of the skull, the NGT can pass through the cribriform plate causing intracranial penetration of the brain.
A right paramedian disc protrusion at C5 - C6 that causes focal complete effacement is often referred to as a herniated disc. It can compress nerves and cause tingling and numbness. Your physician will be able to evaluate how serious the condition is and whether it requires treatment.
A blood clot, also called a thrombus, in the anterior interventricular branch causes sudden death. This branch supplies the majority of blood to the walls of both ventricles. The presence of a thrombus can block the bloodflow to heart muscle cells, causing instant death.
Scalene muscles(anterior & middle fibers) can entrap the lower trunk of the brachial plexus, causing neuropraxia of ulnar nerve
