what does abuts the S1 nerve root mean. When it says protrusion does that mean herniation?

Hi,
I do believe that a disk protrusion means the same thing as a herniation. Herniate means a protrusion....which is something coming through or out of something. So you probably have a disk that is abutting (which means touching) your nerve at the S1 area. Do you have pain in your lower leg and/ or ankle or feet? Or the side of the feet? I think that is usually the area where one would feel pain or other symptoms in this area, though it's not exact. S1 is where your lurabar spine meets your sacral area. The sacral area is the area right above your tailbone area. Hope this helps.

Ohh, HIYA, Dev!!! :::::::wavin':::::::::::
Yea, sorry, I hadn't been on here for quite some time, I don't know why, though. Well, I had been unemployed for a long time, so I was always job searching, researching, signed up on various networking sites, viewed a bunch of job-related webinars, etc...I am telling you, trying to find work these days is literally like a full-time job! Plus, I've had a lot of interviews to go on....and beforehand, I always do research, prepare questions, plus prepare questions I want to ask, and go over questions interviewers might ask. I know I was totally qualified for many of the jobs I Interviewed with, but I kept hearing either..I am OVERqualified or I am just "not the right fit". I was starting to think I wasn't getting hired due to my visible disability, because I have a visible limp, plus after sitting in an interview for a while, I always get very stiff and have a hard time getting up. I know some people notice my limp because I see them looking down at my ankle, although my ankle isn't the only body part that's causing me problems. I also walk slightly bent forward, I walk differently and more slowly. But anyway, I finally landed a job, yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy and I really love it!! Then recently I realized that I hadn't come here for a long time, so I wanted to check back in. I was hoping to come across a spiney that I knew through here! Unfortunately, I am not pain-free, but I just have to deal with it right now.
How have you been feeling????? Fill me in!
