What is right neural foramen?
what is disc protrusion in the right neural foramen abutting right L5 nerve root
What is Nerve root clumping at L4 L5 and L5 S1?
Nerve root clumping is usually indicative of arachnoiditis, a painful, progressive spinal condition. Please research arachnoiditis.
What is evidence of impression on the L5 and S1 nerve root on the right ay the L5 S1 level?
Evidence of impression on the L5 and S1 nerve root on the right at the L5-S1 level typically includes imaging findings such as a herniated disc, foraminal stenosis, or a mass effect from adjacent structures. On MRI, this may present as displacement or compression of the nerve roots, along with associated edema or inflammation in the surrounding tissues. Clinical symptoms may also be evident, including radicular pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower extremity corresponding to the affected nerve roots.
What is perineural fat around the existing L5 root?
You probably mean exiting L5 spinal nerve--the nerve root ends at the DRG inside the lateral foramen. It is fatty tissue within the neuroforamen. Outside the foramen there is typically muscle.
What does paracentral disc herniation at the L5-S1 level causing mass effect upon the left S1 nerve root mean?
It means that the disc between L5-S1 has protruded out to one side (not centrally), and is affecting (most likely compressing) the S1 nerve root which is below the level of the herniation (the L5 nerve root has already exited the IVF). From this report I am assuming you are having some sensory or motor problems in your lower limbs?!
What is displacement of the bilateral L5 nerve roots in the neuroforamen and displacement of the left S1 nerve root as it exits the canal?
The nerves coming off the spinal cord at L5 and S1 are being pushed out of their normal position.
Herniation at L4-5 which abuts and displaces the L5 nerve root?
disc is herniated ( sticks out further than what its supposed to meaning it sticks out past your vertebrates) and it has your nerve pinched. I'm going to guess that you have leg pain as well right? lol had the same problems, just had a L5 S1 fusion
What are the symptoms of L5 nerve root effacement of right and left s1 nerve roots?
L5 nerve root effacement can lead to symptoms such as lower back pain, weakness in the leg, and sensory changes like numbness or tingling along the outer aspect of the leg and top of the foot. For S1 nerve root involvement, symptoms may include pain radiating down the back of the leg, weakness in the plantar flexion of the foot, and decreased reflexes in the Achilles tendon. Patients may also experience difficulty with activities like walking on their toes. Overall, these symptoms can vary based on the severity and specific location of the nerve root compression.
What is the spinal root of the tibial nerve?
The tibial nerve arises from the L4 to S3 spinal nerve roots. It is a branch of the sciatic nerve and provides motor and sensory innervation to the posterior leg and sole of the foot.
What is mild to moderate encroachment of exiting nerve root L4-L5?
Mild to moderate encroachment of the exiting nerve root at the L4-L5 level refers to a condition where there is slight to moderate compression or irritation of the nerve root that exits the spinal column at the lumbar spine's L4-L5 intervertebral foramen. This encroachment can result from factors such as bulging discs, bone spurs, or inflammation, potentially leading to symptoms like pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. While it may not always cause significant issues, monitoring and management may be necessary to prevent further complications.
Sciatica reflects neuritis in a nerve from the?
Sciatica is caused by compression or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which is the largest nerve in the body. This can result in pain, numbness, or tingling that radiates down the back of the leg. Common causes include a herniated disc, bone spur, or muscle imbalance.
Is there any physical therapy treatment for extrusion of L4-L5 disc with nerve root and thecal compression?
Have you tried gravity boots (i.e. hanging upside down).
