A member asked:
What does it mean that i have a small focal disc protrusion in l3-l4 which indents the thecal sac?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Disc protrusion: 40 percent of people over 30 without back pain have disc abnormalities on MRI. It is very important to make sure any findings fit with your symptoms. As there is no mention of compression of a nerve root is usually not a major issue.
