You might need surgery for focal left foraminal disc protrusion that contacts the exiting left L4 nerve root if the protrusion is affecting your quality of life. This type of surgery is most often accomplished via a very small incision.

How do you fix cervical spine dessication?

It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue. I had a MRI diagnosis that said dorsal protrusion of C5-6 disc, effacing the ventral arachnoid space and indenting the cord + bilateral foraminal narrowing leading to compression of exiting root. This is probably a more medical description of dessication or maybe one of the case. But I was advised "surgery" wherein they will remove the herniated disc and replace it with a bone. This bone will be held in place with a titanium plate. The bone will fuse with vertebrae over a period of 1 month and form one bone mass. It is best to consult an orthopedic on this issue.

What does L5 lateral foraminal stenosis mean?

L5 lateral foraminal stenosis refers to a narrowing of the foraminal space at the L5 vertebra level, where spinal nerves exit the spinal column. This condition can occur due to age-related changes, herniated discs, bone spurs, or other spinal degeneration. As a result of the narrowing, the exiting nerve can become compressed, leading to symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness in the lower back and legs. Treatment options may include physical therapy, medication, or, in severe cases, surgery to relieve the pressure on the nerve.


How do you treat severe neural foraminal stenosis at multiple levels from L3-4 to L5-S1?

Foraminal Stenosis means the nerve roots exiting through the holes from the spine have been seriously narrowed. You can consult a surgeon to see whether surgery will help you. Physical Therapy might provide some pain relief, if advised by your doctor. You should ask your doctor about filing for SSDI or SSD if you can no longer work. NOTE: This condition does not get better by ignoring it.
