A member asked:
What does l5-s1 central disc protrusion abutting the thecal sac without spinal stenois mean? i have severe pain down my left leg when standing/walking
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc protrusion: The L5-S1 disc is very susceptible to protrusion since it gets more load than most other lumbar discs. The disc is abutting the spinal canal's covering (thecal sac) without impinging on the canal itself (without stenosis). Your neurologist might suggest approaches like muscle strengthening exercises & physical therapy to help address your pain. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/herniateddisk.html
