To address a broad-based central disc extrusion, conservative treatments such as physical therapy, pain management with medications, and activity modification are often first-line approaches. If symptoms persist or worsen, more invasive options like epidural steroid injections may be considered to reduce inflammation. In severe cases, surgical intervention, such as discectomy or spinal fusion, might be necessary to alleviate nerve compression and restore spinal stability. Always consult with a healthcare professional for a tailored treatment plan.

Your back hurts.
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
This is called a broad based disc herniation
Disc extrusion is a degenerative condition of the spine and is also referred to as a herniated or ruptured disc. The condition causes material to leak and from characteristic shapes that can compress a nerve. A disc extrusion can cause back or neck pain.
You have injured a disc in your back ( little shock absorbers between your vertebrae ), and it is bulging out at the site of the injury. Take care or it may become herneated or rurtured.
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.
A broad herniation means that at least 25% of the disc is affected. A central herniation means that the herniation is toward the spinal column. A broad central herniation of the disc with impingement on the thecal sac is a herniation in which a large portion of the disc is protruding toward the spinal column and is pressing against the membrane which surrounds the spinal cord.
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..
Broad based disc bulge is the issue of have no extra room for the person's spinal cord causing pain and numbness. Broad based disc bulge is often thought to be a pinched nerve until imagining is taken.
A small right central extrusion below the disc space at C6-7 refers to a herniated intervertebral disc material that has protruded from the disc's center towards the right side and is located below the C6-C7 vertebral disc. This condition can potentially compress nearby spinal nerves or the spinal cord, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the arms or neck. Treatment options may include conservative measures like physical therapy or pain management, and in some cases, surgical intervention may be necessary.
