L5-s1 right paracentral disc extrusion 8mm extending 5mm below superior endplate s1 right l stenosis , abuts right s-1 nerve root help interpret plz?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
S-1 Radiculopathy?: Real question here is the effect of the contact with the right s-1 nerve root, is there foot numbness or weakness, is there risk for future nerve damage into leg? An EMG can help objectify current integrity and/or future risk. Films do not necessarily advise surgery, and, the disc may dessicate over next 6-9 months and thereby shrink on its own, if you can be patient.
