Yes, I just got my MRI done for Lumbar Spine, it shows the below impression, can you help me understand this. 1. Diffuse disc herniation with focal annular tear at L5-S1 level, narrowing spinal canal, lateral recess causing compression on thecal sac traversing nerve roots. 2. Diffuse disc bulges at C4-C5, C5-C6 levels, narrowing spinal canal, lateral recess and mild compression on anterior subarachnoid space, traversing nerve roots.
Hi, diffuse disc herniation at L5S1 narrowing spinal canal and lateral recess requires surgery. Diffuse disc bulges at C4C5 and C5C6 are small discs can be managed conservatively. Thanks
