What is central disc herniation at L4-5 associated with concentric disc bulging and mild narrowing of the right and left neural foramen?

In: Back and Neck [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

A herniated disc in the low back which makes the foramina (the bony holes on either side through which the spinal nerves pass) narrow. This can result in one or both of the spinal nerves being pinched, causing pain or numbness to radiate down one or both legs. On the other hand, it's possible that neither nerve is pinched at all.
