Degeneration of L5-S1 disc with vacuum phenomenon?

Degeneration of the L5-S1 disc refers to the breakdown or wear-and-tear of the disc located between the fifth lumbar vertebra and the first sacral vertebra in the spine. The vacuum phenomenon is a radiographic finding where gas accumulates within the intervertebral disc space, typically seen in degenerated discs. This phenomenon is a result of the degenerative changes in the disc causing a decrease in pressure within the disc space, allowing gas to enter and form a vacuum. This condition can be associated with back pain, radiculopathy, and other symptoms related to spinal degeneration.

Is a bulging Disc a herniated disc?

No. A bulging disc is a disc that has mildly or severely (depending on what the diagnostics prove) buldged from the intervertebral space. This means that the nucleus inside the disc is intact and still within the disc space, but the disc itself has bulged outward. A herniated disc is the same thing as a ruptured disc in which case the nucleus has exited the intervertebral space and the two vetrebrae are essentially "bone on bone". A bulging disc occurs more often as we age or as repetitive activities weaken the the disc. Herniated discs are more often specifically related to trauma/injury sustained and are more acute (sudden) in onset.
