A member asked:
L5-s1 disc herniation.1mm anterior to posterior extending from the left to the right subarticular region.patient has contact of the right s1 nerve root, flattening of the ventral thecal sac. does it mean its affecting only right leg or left leg too?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Based upon the report (likely an MRI), the demonstrated nerve root compression affected mainly the right side, and radiating pain would mainly afflict the right leg. If this herniation increases in size, it could also affect the left leg. Suggest a surgical opinion regarding these findings.
