Can Any Online Doctor Explain Me About My MRI Report ?
I just got my MRI Report and it reads... Impression: 1. Diffuse Disk Bulge , Asymmetric to the left, At the L5-S1 Level which abuts the Descending S1 Nerve Root and also Results in mild to moderate left Neural foraminal Compromise. 2. o;d facet degeneration at the L5-S1 level... End report.... Can you please explain to me what all this means and what are some of the treatments that may be involved.
hi,
The MRI report tells that S1 nerve root is getting compressed significantly by bulging disc.
If you are having radiating pain in left leg with/out sensory loss in left foot , it means you requires surgical intervention (discectomy).
I am doing discectomy with foraminoytomy technique, by which incision is very small & pt can walk next dat onward.
