What is disc protrusion with high intensity zone also causing mild foraminal encroachment at L4-L5?

It's from a radiology report - essentially it's saying that there's a mild disk bulge (not full herniation) at the L4/5 disk that's encroaching on the L4/5 foramina. The foramina is the part of the vertebrae between the spine and vertebrae where the nerves pass. They look like holes or notches behind the vertebrae.

It's not uncommon for a disk protrusion in the lower lumbar area to impinge on the foraminal nerves. Mild just indicates it's not enough of a problem to warrant anything other than non-surgical therapy (rest, anti-inflammatories, etc.). There's usually an underlying cause though - stenosis, injury, old age, weight, etc.

The best way to deal with it is to limit the amount of stress you put on your lumbar spine, and to change the way you sleep (assuming you haven't already). Never sleep on your back, unless you've got cushion under your knees that will flatten your lumbar spine against the mattress; if you sleep on your side, put a cushion between your knees that will keep your legs parallel (this reduces pressure on the hips and lower spine); and never sleep on your stomach. Putting a cushion or pillow behind you and for your arm to rest on (if sleeping on your side) will help keep you from rolling over. Even though I did it for years before my first fusion, I still do it today, and it still helps.

How does pain reliever know where the pain is in the body?

I take several pain killers for chronic pain and have been explained to by my doctor a little on how some specific ones work. Now I'm sure that all pain killers have many different ways of working but most have to do with the pain and inflamation. I take Tramadol which does two things it both inhances the amount of Seretonin in the brain and binds with certain opiod receptors in the body. (it works in the Central Nervous System and is classified as a weak narcotic) The other medicine I take is Naproxen (it is in Aleve but I take a prescription strength dosage). It works by reducing inflamation by reducing hormones that cause inflamation and pain in the body. Now these are only two types of pain relievers. Tramadol- a weak Narcotic- and Naproxen -an Non-steroidal anti-inflamatory drug-. I'm sure there are more but these in my experience are the two main ones given over the counter and by prescription for pain relief. I hope this has helped you.

What muscle is innervated by the femoral nerve?

    • The branch to the Rectus femoris enters the upper part of the deep surface of the muscle, and supplies a filament to the hip-joint.
    • The branch to the Vastus lateralis, of large size, accompanies the descending branch of the lateral femoral circumflex artery to the lower part of the muscle. It gives off an articular filament to the knee-joint.
    • The branch to the Vastus medialis descends lateral to the femoral vessels in company with the saphenous nerve. It enters the muscle about its middle, and gives off a filament, which can usually be traced downward, on the surface of the muscle, to the knee-joint.
    • The branches to the Vastus intermedius, two or three in number, enter the anterior surface of the muscle about the middle of the thigh; a filament from one of these descends through the muscle to the Articularis genu and the knee-joint. The articular branch to the hip-joint is derived from the nerve to the Rectus femoris.
  • The articular branches to the knee-joint are three in number.
    • One, a long slender filament, is derived from the nerve to the Vastus lateralis; it penetrates the capsule of the joint on its anterior aspect.
    • Another, derived from the nerve to the Vastus medialis, can usually be traced downward on the surface of this muscle to near the joint; it then penetrates the muscular fibers, and accompanies the articular branch of the highest genicular artery, pierces the medial side of the articular capsule, and supplies the synovial membrane.
    • The third branch is derived from the nerve to the Vastus intermedius.

Do you have neuropathy?

Not directly from neuropathy itself, but the effects of neuropathy may eventually lead to poor blood circulation and the inhibition of proper healing, which in turn can lead to infection. If neuropathy spreads throughout the body and becomes out of control, even a small scratch could become infectuous and the body's healing process may cease to function.

What is the auditory neuropathy?

Auditory neuropathy is a hearing disorder in which sound enters the inner ear normally but the transmission of signals from the inner ear to the brain is impaired. It can affect people of all ages, from infancy through adulthood. The number of people affected by auditory neuropathy is not known, but the condition affects a relatively small percentage of people who are deaf or hearing-impaired.

People with auditory neuropathy may have normal hearing, or hearing loss ranging from mild to severe; they always have poor speech-perception abilities, meaning they have trouble understanding speech clearly. Often, speech perception is worse than would be predicted by the degree of hearing loss. For example, a person with auditory neuropathy may be able to hear sounds, but would still have difficulty recognizing spoken words. Sounds may fade in and out for these individuals and seem out of sync.

How is peripheral neuropathy caused?

Diabetes, alcoholism , diseases of the autoimmune system such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, and exposure to health damaging substances can cause peripheral neuropathy.

What causes chest pain shortness of breath and leg pain?

Blood clots can do both. A pulmonary embolism (PE) is a blood clot that travels through the bloodstream from somewhere in the body (often the large vessels located in the back of the lower legs) and ends up in the lungs( or possibly the pulmonary arterty) and occludes or partially occludes the lungs fields, resulting in shortness of breath or even death. There may also be several other unrelated causes for the symptoms you are asking about.
