A member asked:
Is my disc herniation in the protrusion or extrusion stage? anterior margin of the thecal sac is contacted and partially effaced greater to the left of the midline at l5/s1. this is due to 2mm of disc material lateralizing left greater than right

Talk with your Dr. : Rather than asking doctors you don't know to interpret your tests, you need to discuss this with your doctor. A disc extrusion is when inner disc material pushes through a tear into the outer wall and seeps into the spinal canal.
