What is a broad based disk buldge at L5-S1 mean?
HI
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..
2.5mm broad based disc protusion
A disc bulge at the L4-L5 level means that the disc between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae is protruding out of place. This can cause compression on the thecal sac, which contains nerve roots and spinal fluid. Symptoms can include pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medications, or in severe cases, surgery.
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.
If you are symptomatic then you may require surgery. Your spine specialist is the best judge.
A broad-based 4 or 5 mm right foraminal and extraforaminal disc protrusion refers to a condition where an intervertebral disc bulges outward at a width of 4 to 5 millimeters, specifically towards the right side of the spinal canal and the area where spinal nerves exit (foramina). This type of protrusion can compress nearby nerves, potentially leading to pain, numbness, or weakness in the areas supplied by those nerves. It is often identified through imaging studies like MRI and may require conservative treatment or, in some cases, surgical intervention.
hi can you help me i had mri the findings, disc degeneration at l2/3 ,l4/5 ,and l5/s1. broad based posterior disc protrusion at l4/5 causing a moderate impression on the anterior theca.very mild posterior disc bulge l5/s1.normal capacity lumbar spinl canal . the foramina are clear .normal conus, what can i do i cant sleep and i cant go out said
The anterior fornix is typically about 2 to 3 centimeters deep in the human body. It is a part of the vaginal canal, located at the front of the vagina, and serves as a space surrounding the cervix. The exact depth can vary based on individual anatomy and factors such as age and hormonal status.
Not unless you're dizzy. This is likely from the post procedure Radiologist's report. What it says is that the CT scan after dye injection and shaking you on the table like a martini (or just rotating you up and down a bit) shows that you have a mild disk bulge at your C6/7 disk (the disk between Cervical (neck) vertebrae 6 and 7, which are fairly low down the neck) doesn't appear to be bulging on the sides (laterally) which could press on a nerve. Your cervical disks do not affect your walking at all - the cervical area controls and affects your arms, hands, fingers and associated nerves. The legs are controlled by the lumbar area, mid point of the back to the tailbone. UNLESS the cervical cord is impinged enough to be damaged. Then symptoms can occur anywhere below the level of spinal cord damage.
I don't know what "old coal based" means, but I assume you are asking about an iron for flattening the fibers in clothing. In which case, yes it is a compound machine, in that it makes the work we put into the chore more efficient or effective, even though some types of irons don't have moving parts.
