A member asked:
What do you suggest if my mri says diffuse disc bulge of l4-l5 intervertible disc causing ventral thecal sac indentation . disc desication of l5-s1 ,what i do ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This is part: of the spectrum of degenerative disc disease. Whether it might be causing symptoms or not depends in part on how severe the thecal sac indentation is, so you need to speak with your doctor about it.
