Multilevel disc desiccation is a health condition of the spine. This health condition or disease is the loss of fluid between the discs of the spine. This fluid or jelly acts as cushion for the spine against pain. Multilevel disc desiccation is a degenarative disease.
Desiccation of the disc refers to the drying out and degeneration of the intervertebral discs in the spine. This can lead to a decrease in disc height, loss of elasticity, and can be a contributing factor to conditions such as disc herniation or degenerative disc disease. Symptoms can include back pain, stiffness, and decreased flexibility.
The cause of disc desiccation is from replacement of the hydrophilic glycosaminoglycans within the nucleus polyposis with fibrocartilage. It is considered a degenerative disorder.
Disc desiccation is the loss of fluid in the intervertebral discs. When this occurs at each lumbar lore, the disc is not herniated or bulging and there is no surgical treatment.
No desiccation indicates some kind kind of break down in the disk itself. Herniating a disc is to have it moved out of position (pinched or something like that) which can in some cases be fixed.
what does multi level loss of disc hydration
yes
Disc desiccation happens when fluid is lost from the intervertebral discs of the spine. Disc dessication leads to acute back pain, due to excessive wear on the vertebrae (small bones which make up the spine) and the discs (located between the vertebrae) themselves.
Oh, dude, disc desiccation? That's like when your spinal discs dry out, not a fun time. Technically, you can apply for Social Security Disability for it, but it's not a guaranteed ticket to easy street. They'll need to see how much it's affecting your ability to work and function, so it's not just a case of "my back hurts, give me money."
i got a disc bulge, herneated disc about 4 years go. since the injury it has progressed into disc desiccation. it's become very painful and i get spinal injections now. I'm only 19. ):
It's an MRI sign that the intervertebral discs are aging.
Get a doctor that passed med school.
