What else can I help you with?
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
Will plantar fascia surgery help relieve sciatica pain?
Absolutely not. Though the pain is felt in the legs and foot, the Sciatic nerve and resulting pain from it is due to nerve compression from the L4/L5 or L5/S1 disk on the nerve itself. Operating on the wrong body part won't do anything but make you feel worse.As a person with a long history of spinal and pain problems, I will also tell you that you should NEVER consider surgery for back pain unless you are at the point where there are no other options available.
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.
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 L4 L5 disc herniation and a pinched nerve considered a disability by law?
L4-L5 disc herniation and a pinched nerve can be considered a disability under the law if they significantly impair a person's ability to perform daily activities or work. The determination of disability often depends on the severity of the condition, the individual's symptoms, and how they affect daily functioning. In the United States, the Social Security Administration evaluates such conditions based on specific criteria outlined in their listings. Ultimately, legal classification may vary based on individual circumstances and jurisdiction.
What is the cause of the numbness from your hip to your leg?
You may have a disc protrusion at L4-5 or L5-S1 which is impinging on the nerve(s).
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.
Is radiculopathy l5 mean damage nerve?
Radiculopathy at the L5 level indicates that there is dysfunction or irritation of the L5 nerve root, which can occur due to factors like a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, or injury. This condition can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness radiating down the leg, typically affecting the lower back and the outer part of the leg and foot. While it suggests nerve involvement, it doesn't necessarily mean permanent damage; timely treatment can often alleviate symptoms and restore function.
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.
The sciatic nerve is composed of what two nerves?
the common peroneal nerve and the tibial nerve:Common Peroneal Nerve, comprised of nerve fibers from L5, S1, S2, and S3.Tibial Nerve comprised of nerve fibers from L4, L5, S1, S2 and S3)
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.
What is grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1secondary to old bilateral L5 pars interarticularis defects?
Grade 1 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1 refers to a mild forward displacement of the L5 vertebra relative to the S1 vertebra, typically classified as less than 25% of the vertebral body width. This condition is often secondary to old bilateral defects in the L5 pars interarticularis, which are bony structures that can weaken due to stress fractures or congenital issues. These defects can lead to instability in the lumbar spine, resulting in the vertebral slippage. Clinically, this may manifest as back pain or nerve-related symptoms, depending on the degree of nerve compression.
