[|Human|] What is lo -so posterior annular fissure. Shallow posterior profusion across anterior epidural space. No canal stenosis or foraminal narrowing. Impression shallow L5-S1 posterior protrusion with posterior annular fissure. No evidence of endplate fracture or bone marrow contusion/edema.
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case. Your MRI says L5 S l disc protrusion causes which leads to compression of exiting nerve root which later on supply left lower limb [leg]. Due to compression of this nerve root there may be tingling numbness in your leg and pain associated with it. Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor. You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. MRI shows disc compressing on nerve root, so surgical decompression is permanent solution if not relieved conservatively. Hope this answers your query.
