I am 18 years old and in severe pain in my lower back and legs. I was wondering if someone could explain these MRI findings for me and explain what my next step should be.
L4-L5-There is moderate right neural foraminal stenosis related contribution from a right eccentric disc bulge with probable right foraminal disc protrusion. There is mild left neural foraminal stenosis due to disc bulge. There is a broad central disc protrusion, which narrows both lateral recesses, left more than right. The central canal remains patent.
L5-S1- There is mild left neural foraminal stenosis. The right neural foramen is patent. There is a small central disc protrusion with annular fissure. The central canal is patent.
You have 2 discs next step should be anti inflammatory with bed rest in knee and hip 90 degree flexion while avoiding sitting followed by physical therapy for 1 month
Good Luck
Hi and welcome to question doctors.com
This simply says you are having disc lesions in your back pressing on nerves supplying the left lower limb causing your pain …
Rest,physiotherapy and some modification in your work or studying environment like posture and sitting or standing or carrying patterns.
hi
this is a result of disc problems with nerve compression.
lumbar traction,short wave,laser treatment and back exercises will help.
thanks
hello there
lumbar disc lesions- physiotherapy,lumbar braces and back muscle strengthening exercises are recommended.
HI
ITS DUE TO DISC DESSICATION AND PROLAPSE CAUSING NERVE ROOT PINCHING.
PHYSIO AND BACK EXERCISES ARE THE BEST OPTIONS
