[|Human|] Hi Im 35year old female and have been suffering greatly for many years with low excruciating back pain. I get pins and needles ,tingles , weakness in both my legs and feet toes and at times have experienced total numbness to my rright leg lasting anything from 5mins  to 20mins at a time. I have had at times loss of sensation to my bottom and not getting to the toilet in time resulting in my .GP sending me to hospital on emergency to be checked and me almost having to have an emergency operation (luckily my sensations came back and i didnt need an operation at that time but was warned about red flag symptoms and to get emergency medical attention if i develop these symptoms anytime in the future). I had my 2nd MRI  scan Januarys this year and my Dr gave me a copy of the report (i do not understand this properly and wondered if u could explain it to me in more detail and tell me what it means?The report is as follows....There is central/right paracentral disc bulge at L5/S1 indenting the thecal sac and causing mild central canal and mild to moderate right lateral recess narrowing.The disc comes into contact with the traversing S1 nerve root in the right lateral recess. There is mild narrowing of the right exit foramina .No significant disc changes at other lThe vertebral body heights and alignment are normal.Normal marrow signal.The disc cord,comes conus and cauda equina  are normal.SUMMARYfocal central/right paracentral disc bulge at L5/S1 causing mild central-moderate
[|AI|]  Hi...well according to your history and MRI findings...there is mild impediment of serve root by the corresponding disc ...which means the nerve supplying the bottom part of your body is being pressed by disc at your lumbosacral spine level.which is increases may lead to permanent loss of sensation...so kindly avoid bending activities and squatting...go to physiotherapist and learn spinal extension exercises.do it regularly...and wait for the response...along with the medications. As of now
