Please help us. My son is 17, and in a lot of pain. We got his mri back, it says:
L5/Si level demonstrates left eccentric disc bulge abutting the exiting left L5 nerve root with mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis.
L4/5 level demonstrates ild facet hypertrophic changes and mild disc bulge with minimal left foraminal stenosis due to left eccentric disc bulge.
Impression: Minimal disc disease with left eccentric disc bulge L5/S1 level abutting the left L5 nerve root with mild to moderate left foraminal stenosis. Mild disc bulge L4/5 level.
Also, mild disc bulge noted in the mid cervical spine with large disc herniation or central stenosis on limited sagittal sequences.
We have an appointment with the orthopedic doc on Wed, but he is looking for some kind of answers now. He is an active kid playing sports and has a job in a restaurant where he is on his feet for long perioRAB. Any info would be great! Thanks,
Laurie
