It's a herniated disk that's not impacting the nearby nerves.
Central disc protrusion refers to a condition where the intervertebral disc bulges outwards into the spinal canal, often pressing against the spinal cord or nerve roots. Obliteration of the epidural fat indicates that the protrusion has caused the fat tissue surrounding the spinal cord to be displaced or diminished, which can lead to increased pressure and potential neurological symptoms. This condition is typically associated with back pain, leg pain, or numbness, depending on the severity and location of the protrusion. Diagnosis is usually confirmed through imaging studies like MRI.
This describes a minor bulging of a spinal disc at the L5-S1 level, which is causing a slight compression of the thecal sac (the membrane surrounding the spinal cord) and minimal displacement of the epidural fat. It may lead to symptoms like low back pain or sciatica. Tracking the condition with a healthcare provider is recommended.
Yes, you can get an epidural with each birth.
They are the same

yes you can have and epidural if you are induced - Christina ballesteros
Heck yeah, get the epidural! Especially if you are a woman in labor!
Treatment for neural foraminal encroachment typically starts with conservative measures such as physical therapy, pain management through medications (like NSAIDs or corticosteroids), and lifestyle modifications. If symptoms persist or worsen, more invasive options such as epidural injections or surgery to relieve pressure on the affected nerve roots may be considered. The specific approach depends on the severity of symptoms and the underlying cause of the encroachment. Always consult a healthcare professional for a tailored treatment plan.
The anagram is the medical term "epidural."
when you get the epidural could you get swelling?
Treatment for high-grade foraminal stenosis typically begins with conservative measures, such as physical therapy, pain management with anti-inflammatory medications, and activity modification. If symptoms persist, more invasive options like epidural steroid injections may be considered. In severe cases or when neurological deficits occur, surgical intervention, such as foraminotomy or spinal decompression, may be necessary to relieve pressure on the affected nerves. The specific treatment plan should be tailored to the individual's condition and overall health.
I think the needle will be inserted in lumbar 3 and 4 for epidural.
