What is a large disc bulge and endplate bar produces moderate to severe left and modest right bony foramina stenosis?
Vertebral end plates are the top and bottom portions of the vertebral bodies that interface with the vertebral discs. The space between is filled with a cushion called a disk. In this case the pressure placed on the two bodies have caused the disc to be squeezed out (bulge).
If you look at a picture or diagram of the area of the spinal column you are talking about,
you can see the vertebrae and disks in between them.
There is a spinal cord that runs through a large space in each vertebrae. Sort of like your finger in a number of very large rings. The spinal nerves come off the cord in the spaces in between the vertebrae.
But to make things a little more confusing, they must run out though a small opening as well. This small opening is called a foramen.
In your case the foramen is narrow (stenosis) and this will pinch that nerve. The "boney" description means a type of Arthritis. Depending on where this is occurring, you will have pain from that pinched nerve.
I had one at my sciatic nerves (both) sides of the back, down my legs. I could not "lift my toes" and had to have the foramen opened up. No more pain and legs and feet work fine 10 years after surgery.
