A member asked:
What does abutment of the l5 nerve root mean caused by disc bulge at l4-5 showed on my ct scan .. what would the treatment be 4 this if any ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It means: that the disc is bulging out of its normal confines and touching the nerve root. It may or may not be causing symptoms, talk to your doc about whether your symptoms are referable to that nerve root. Treatment would be conservative in all likelihood.
