Disc Herniation: A forminal disk extrusion is a herniated disc. Your description states that the disk has herniated to the left in the lower mid back region. Foraminal stenosis may cause pain or neurologic symptoms to the left side of your body. Please follow up with an orthopedic surgeon or neurosurgeon for possible options. If pain is present you may be able to followup with a pain management specialist.
