what does bilateral facet arthropathy mean
Severe left foraminal stenosis at the L5-S1 level refers to a significant narrowing of the foraminal space on the left side, where the L5 and S1 spinal nerves exit the spinal column. This condition can lead to nerve compression, resulting in symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and leg. It is often caused by factors like herniated discs, bone spurs, or degenerative disc disease. Diagnosis typically involves imaging studies, and treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms.
