What is Dessication of the disc?
Desiccation of the disc refers to the drying out and degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the spine. This can lead to a decrease in disc height, loss of elasticity, and can be a contributing factor to conditions such as disc herniation or degenerative disc disease. Symptoms can include back pain, stiffness, and decreased flexibility.
Can the bulging disc in neck travel to lower back?
A bulging disc in the neck typically cannot travel or migrate to the lower back. However, the same factors that contribute to disc issues in the neck (such as aging, injury, and poor posture) can also affect the discs in the lower back separately. It is important to address any disc issues in both the neck and lower back to prevent further complications.
Which intervertebral disc is the largest?
The largest intervertebral disc is typically found between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae in the lower back. This disc is known as the L4-L5 disc and tends to be larger due to the increased weight-bearing and range of motion demands placed on the lower back.
What softens the jolt to the vertebral column?
Between the individual vertebrae are cushions of encapsulated gelatin like substance called the disc. They work as squishy shock absorbers in the spinal column. A slipped disc is one that has moved off center between vertebrae, which kinks the nerve chords, since they run through the center of the discs as well as the bone components, caused the disc to bulge and swell and press against nerves and tissue, and misaligns the spine, all painful. A ruptured disc has torn the capsule and squeezed out the jelly, leaving no cushion. A herniated disc hasn't quite torn the capsule, but is has weakened and the jelly is bulging out into a bubble. As one ages, wear and tear flattens the discs, which causes stiffness, nerve compression as the space for the nerves to branch out from the spinal column diminishes and trouble with almost any kind of movement in addition to walking.
What is the meaning of 'Central to left para-central small disk protrusion at L5-S1'?
It means that there is a small disc protrusion in the lower back (just above the sacrum). It is a painful condition that might interfere with walking and balance. Discs can herniate and sequester, so the notation is so that the condition can be monitored and evaluated. L-5 is the fifth and lowest lumbar vertebra and S-1 is the first and highest sacral bone. Paracentral indicates a slightly off center, to the left, in this case, bulge.

What does Small broad based disc bulges at L12 L45 mean?
Disc bulges are characterized as focal or broad based. Focal means that less than 90 degrees of the disc is protruding outside of the radius of the vertebrae. Broad based means that 90 to 180 degrees of the disc are protruding outside of the vertebrae. The protruding discs are located in the lumbar region.
