What happens in disc herniation?
The bulging disc or its fragments may be displaced outward, putting pressure on nerve roots entering or exiting the spine and thereby causing pain.
What is inferior abutment of the exiting nerve roots?
The inferior abutment of the exiting nerve roots refers to compression or pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. This can occur due to conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or bone spurs, leading to symptoms like pain, tingling, or weakness in the area supplied by the affected nerve. Treatment may involve medications, physical therapy, injections, or in severe cases, surgery to relieve the compression.
What is the association of disc herniation and sciatica?
Lumbar disc hernias are commonly associated with sciatica (inflammation of the sciatic nerve in the lower back) due to disc protrusion or herniation that compresses the spinal nerve root radiating to the femoral or sciatic nerve.
What is ; bilateral significant foraminal Narrowing with compression of the exiting L5 nerve roots?
The corona
Is there surgery for nerve damage in the hand?
There is Minimally-invasive nerve testing that Florida Hand Center offers. http://www.floridahandcenter.com/treatments/conditions-treatments
What is the best test to show disc herniation?
Because magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides sharp, clear images of bones, discs, nerves, and soft tissues, it is the best test to show disc herniation and nerve compression.
What is the prognosis for a patient with a herniated disk?
For those patients who do require surgery for lumbar disk herniation, the reviewed procedures of nerve root decompression caused by disk herniation is favorable. Results of studies varied from 60-90% success rates.
Will you need surgery for right neuroforaminal disc protrusion herniation impinging on the right L4 nerve root?
absolutely. and it's going to be painful.
Is there any other disorders like Sciatica with the same symptoms?
Possibly; Bursitis; Lumbar disk herniation; Degenerative nerve disease, etc....
What does herniation of a vertebral disc involve?
When a disc herniates, the jellylike substance pushes through and causes the harder outer ring (annulus fibrosus) to compress a nerve root in the spinal cord. Herniation of a vertebral disc can cause varying degrees of pain
What does nerve roots exiting without compromise mean?
"Nerve roots exiting without compromise" refers to a situation where spinal nerve roots leave the spinal column without being compressed or affected by surrounding structures, such as herniated discs or bone spurs. This indicates that the nerve roots are functioning normally and are not experiencing any obstruction or irritation, which can lead to pain, numbness, or weakness. In a clinical context, this is a positive sign, suggesting healthy nerve function.
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?!
