I have an MRI which states severe disc desiccation of L3 L4 with a 6 mm central broad based disc bulge & mild facet arthrosis & causing mild central canal stenosis as well as moderate right sided subarticular recess stenosis. Moderate to severe left sided & moderate right sided forminal stenosis are present. I have had a microdisectomy of L5 S1 & L4 L 5
MRI report suggest significant disc bulge and degenerative changes causing compression on spinal cord and nerve roots. If you not get relieved after microdiscectomy and such MRI changes are persisting after surgery, you may require further surgery- vertebroplasty
