Talk to Neuro Physician on Lumbar Spine Disc Bulge With Nerve Compression (Lower Back Problem)”

Findings:

Mild to moderate lumbar spondylosis.

Disc bulges noted at multiple levels:

L3-L4: Broad-based disc bulge, causing mild compression on the thecal sac.

L4-L5: Disc bulge with mild posterior protrusion, causing indentation of the thecal sac and mild bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.

L5-S1: Diffuse disc bulge causing indentation of the thecal sac with mild bilateral foraminal narrowing.

No evidence of severe central canal stenosis.

Normal alignment of lumbar spine. No acute fracture seen.

Impression (Diagnosis):

Lumbar disc bulges at L3-L4, L4-L5, and L5-S1 levels, causing mild pressure on nerves (thecal sac and foramina).

Early lumbar spondylosis (degenerative changes).

No major herniation or severe spinal stenosis.

Symptoms (as commonly expected):

Chronic low back pain

Pain may radiate to legs (sciatica)

Stiffness in lower back

Possible numbness/tingling in legs if nerve compression increases
