Question 1

what exactly is a sequestrated lumbar intervertebral disc?

Accepted Answer

HNP: A sequestrated lumbar disc refers to migration of the central nuclear disc material through the outer layers that make up the anulus fibrosis and are then lodged in the spinal canal.  Separation of the fragment from the disc from which it originates results in a sequestered fragment.

Question 2

what is intervertebral disc disorder with myelopathy  lumbar region?

Accepted Answer

Nonsensical: The spinal cord ends at about l-2, and most common disc issues are present at l4-5, and l-5-s-1.  In order for a disc to affect the spinal cord, we are talking about a problem in the lower thoracic spine, or a rather unusual high lumbar disc fragment, perhaps.  Myelopathy means involvement of spinal cord, so are we really using the term incorrectly here?  Ask your doc about this.

Question 3

symptoms of  intervertebral disc displacement lumbar w/o myelopathy?

Accepted Answer

Herniated disc: Lumbar discs can herniate (slip) due to several reasons, main ones being lifting while bending down, sudden jerky motion etc. Usually if a disc does not pinch a nerve, it will cause back pain with no radiation (unless the damage is minimal). If it causes inflammation in the surrounding tissue it can cause nerve root irritation which causes pain down the leg, tingling and numbness come after.

Question 4

what is lumbosacral strain, with disc space narrowing at l4-5 at l4-5 with spondylolysis anterosuperiorly at l4 with lumbar intervertebral disc syndro?

Accepted Answer

Your question: got cut off, but a strain is a muscular injury, disc space narrowing is a manifestation of degenerative disc disease(analagous to arthritic change), and spondylolysis is a congenital or acquired defect in the lamina, part of the posterior aspect of the vertebra, which can potentially cause pain, instability, and accelerated degenerative arthritis.

Question 5

what is intervertebral disc disorder with myelopathy cervical region?

Accepted Answer

Cord compression due: To disc issue in the neck region usually with degenerative disc disease ; a small spinal canal diameter.  Prior history of neck injury can accelerate degenerative changes ; smokers accelerate this rate 4x over a nonsmoker. A herniated large disc can cause a myelopathy which is cord compression but it is most often associated with degeneration leading to a too narrow spinal canal for the cord.

Question 6

can cervical radiculopathy and intervertebral disc disorder with myelopathy, cervical region cause bladder problems?"

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can: Based on the information provided -- intervertebral disc disorder with myelopathy in the cervical region can cause bladder dysfunction as the spinal cord is compressed by the disc.

Question 7

i was recently diagnosed with m62.80 muscle spasm of back, intervertebral disc disorders with radiculopathy lumbar region. does this require surgery or can be treated with medication & lifestyle changes?

Accepted Answer

: Back surgery is indicated if spine unstable, pain intolerable and unresponsive, progressive weakness and muscle atrophy, bladder dysfnctn.  But most of the time, this symptom complex can be handled with physical therapy, exercise, and stretching.

Question 8

hi doctor! i am 40 years old. on trying to bend down, it feels like something will "break" in my lower back. mri 4 months back showed mild-moderate intervertebral disc space loss in lower back. and just last week a few new sysmtoms started. there are some

Accepted Answer

Follow up: you may have instability in one of your lumbar segments. I would recommend you follow up with your spine doctor. They will probably order X-rays that are taken with you standing and bent over to asses the stability. Sometimes it can be treated with physical therapy and others are better treated with surgical stabilization.

Question 9

mr a diagnosis with prolapsed intervertebral disc( ilness) with clinic a, mr a go to clinic b and been diagnossi with lower back pain (injury) pls hlp?

Accepted Answer

They are the same.: They are the same thing. Both diagnoses are identical but just expressed in different terms.

Question 10

dad, 85, shallow mid & lower back pain wks ago, pain almost resolved from meds by orth.dr.no other symp. whole spine mri : t2 hyperintense signal noted in spinal cord at the level of d4-d5 intervertebral disc extending for a segment of 10 mm. cancer?

Accepted Answer

: Diagnosing Cancer requires a complete workup including blood, imaging, biopsies, symptom history and examination. Have your dad talk to their Dr who ordered the test to review the results in conjunction with all the other workup components. It is not possible to diagnose Cancer based on stand alone results from an MRI.
