What Causes Lower Lumbar Spine Scoliosis Along With Herniated Disc?

Hi,I am 48 years old and was dianosed with lower lumber spine scolosis by my GP.I have since had x-Rays and a MRI scan and visited with a specialist in the last 6 months.The finding of the MRI show spillage of the disc vertebrae. How could this have occurred? I also have a family history of back problems. My own history with back problems goes way back. I have curvature of the spine and the length of my legs is different. Look forward to your reply. Huia Te Kanawa ( YYYY@YYYY )

Hi Dear !! Thanks for your query to HCM .
Read and reviewed your query and health concerns.
You seems to suffer from -Prolapsed Inter-Vertebral Disc-with Chronic Lumbar Scoliosis.
Cause of MRI-detected-Spillage of vertebral disc/OR-PID-
This is due to the extreme imbalance in intervertebral pressures,over a long period of time due to long standing Lumbar Scoliosis.
The long standing Curvature of the Spine -ie-Scoliosis of spine-is the cause of this PID.
Do Consult with Orthopedic Surgeon,who would assess your health issues of PID and would take appropriate steps to correct and treat it, in the best possible way.

Hope this would help you to plan further care of this complex illness of yours.
