There are variables here... but since you phrase the question the way you do, I'll assume You're under 35 years old... Over the years disks begin to wear out and flatten or possibly bulge out (like squashing a marshmallow). Sometimes, trauma --or bending or leaning with/without heavy lifting-- can cause a herniation in the side of this disk, and the resulting herniation can cause problems by pinching a nerve. As to disc dessication (dehydrating), that will depend on what type of work you've performed over the years (common labor vs sedentary), your age, health, etc... But I would expect disc dessication to occur 2-3 years following a disk herniation... That is really a very difficult question to answer... Sorry...

What does anterior wedging of upper lumbar vertebral body mean?

Anterior wedging of the upper lumbar vertebral body refers to a condition where the front part of a lumbar vertebra is compressed or flattened more than the back part, creating a wedge shape. This can result from trauma, degenerative changes, or conditions like osteoporosis. It may lead to pain and reduced spinal mobility, and in some cases, it can be indicative of underlying pathology that requires further evaluation. Treatment options vary depending on the severity and cause of the wedging.

Where in the spine do most injuries occur?

Can a fall cause lumbarization vertibra?

Yes, a fall can potentially cause lumbarization of the vertebrae, although it is relatively rare. Lumbarization refers to the condition where the first sacral vertebra (S1) behaves like a lumbar vertebra, resulting in an additional lumbar-like vertebra. Trauma from a fall can lead to injury or developmental changes in the spine that may contribute to this condition. However, lumbarization is often a congenital anomaly rather than an acquired one.
