A member asked:
Tissue compresses the descending left s1 nerve root within the lateral recess against the l5/s1 facet joint. what does this mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Means the Lt S1 nerv: e is pinched between some tissue and the bone behind the nerve root. Most likely cause is a Bulging or herniated disc causing this. See your Local Spine surgeon who can examine you and co-relate your clinical and MRI findings for you and chalk a plan of care for you. Good luck.
