L4-L5 mild posterior annular relaxation refers to a slight change or bulging in the annulus fibrosus, the outer layer of an intervertebral disc located between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. This condition may indicate some degree of disc degeneration or stress, potentially leading to Back pain or discomfort. It is considered mild, suggesting that it may not be causing significant issues or symptoms at this stage. However, it is important to monitor and manage any associated symptoms.
What else can I help you with?
How long to recover from lumbar fusion operation?
I was 18, and I took me about 6 months to get fully released from the doctor. L4l5
How soon after post op L4L5 spinal fusion should I get out of bed?
I was up standing later that day. Took a few steps the next day. By the third day I was walking to the door and into the hall. With the help of the PT therapist.
What does it mean when you have l4l5 severe spinal stenosis?
Severe spinal stenosis at the L4-L5 level means there is significant narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back, specifically affecting the area between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebrae. This narrowing can compress the spinal cord and nerves, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, weakness, or difficulty walking. It often results from age-related changes, such as degenerative disc disease or arthritis. Treatment options range from physical therapy and medications to surgical interventions, depending on the severity of symptoms and impact on daily life.
Has anybody had back fusion on L4L5 and S1 and still have back pain and if yes have you had any treatment that has helped with the pain.?
The only treatment I know of that works for someone post surgery (as long a there were no rods or screws put in) is DRX9000 Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression. It is a fairly new treatment that is now used all over the world that has a very high success rate and no side effects. I know from personal experience that this treatment is truly amazing and now that it's available I hope anyone considering surgery try this 1st.
