In a 24yr old Can these injuries be caused by a vehicle accident nucleus desiccation degenerative disc disease disc bulging and facet osteoarthritis?
Yes they can, sudden trauma to the skeletal system can bring on the symptoms of OA prematurely to those that are unfortunate enough to have a predisposition to it.
Can trauma cause right-sided disc extrusion?
Yes, trauma can lead to right-sided disc extrusion, particularly if it results in sudden, excessive force or strain on the spine. This type of injury can cause the intervertebral disc to bulge or rupture, pushing material toward the right side and potentially affecting nearby nerves. Factors like pre-existing disc degeneration may also increase the likelihood of extrusion following trauma. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential to address the condition effectively.
What causes damage to the C6 and C7 disc?
Damage to the C6 and C7 discs is often caused by age-related degeneration, leading to conditions like herniation or bulging. Repetitive strain from activities that involve heavy lifting or poor posture can also contribute to disc deterioration. Additionally, trauma from accidents or falls may result in disc injuries. These factors can lead to pain, nerve compression, and reduced mobility in the neck and upper limbs.
How long does it take for the c5 c6 disc to bulg?
Several years under normal wear & tear... In cases of trauma, immediately...
What are the symptoms for an L2-3 disk protrusion?
For a bit of background, a spinal disc herniation is a condition in which the vertebrae/discs bulge or distend beyond its usual anatomical position. Many people refer to a spinal herniation as a "slipped disc", while in fact this is not true. A spinal disc cannot simply 'slip' out of position unless very severe trauma is involved.The term 'posterior' is a medical term meaning 'backwards'. In this context, it means the spinal disc has slipped backwards from the normal location.A spinal disc herniation can be caused by many different reasons including:- Trauma (car crash, blunt force)- Physical strain (from lifting weights, excessive weight-lifting)- Spontaneously (no known medical cause)It is also possible for a tumour to force a disc out of position.Signs and symptoms of a posterior disc herniation include:- Pain, especially when moving in the opposite direction of the slip (i.e. leaning forward).- Neck and low back pain (may be mild or severe, depending on the cause and nature of the injury).- Pain in "random" locations (thigh, leg, arm etc) caused by the spinal disc pressing on nerves that are connected to a particular area of the body.- Pain in the buttocks may be common as the sciatic nerve is often affected by the disc affecting nearby nerves.NB: To differentiate between other conditions, a spinal disc herniation often causes pain that is aggravated by movement and is usually continuous. Pulsating pain or on-and-off pain is most likely caused by a muscular condition as opposed to a disc herniation.Any changes in your health, including pain should be reported to your medical doctor or healthcare practitioner. If you experience the worse pain in your life, or if the pain was caused by trauma, avoid any movement and call for an emergency ambulance. The risk of spinal injury needs to be evaluated in this case.
Why would a Disc appear black on mri?
It depend on the specific MRI sequence, but the likely cause would be dehydration of the disc. This is usually caused by disc disease and can lead to other problems such as disc herniations or subluxation.
What causes a PS3 disk to corrupt?
For the most part, disc errors are cause by scratches and swirls on the disc face, but they can also be caused by moving the PS3 while the game disc is in it, if the disc is dropped on the ground, or if the disc is flexed beyond a reasonable limit.
What is Grade 1 degenerative anterolisthesis of L4 on L5 with mild to moderate left sided canal and foraminal stenosis due to bulging and facet hypertrophy?
Grade one anterolisthesis of C4 on c5 is mild movement of the c4 cervical disc. This is most commonly caused by a sudden trauma.
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.
Can a tens unit used to relieve pain caused by disc surgery?
Yes
What is a problem caused by heavy lifting?
Muscle strains, damage to vertebral disc, etc.
What is posterior disk osteophyte complex?
Disc osteophyte complex usually occurs as a person ages. It is a spinal condition where a spinal vertebra is afflicted by osteophytes or commonly known as bone spurs. This often results in experiencing headaches, stiff neck, and weakness in the shoulders.
