my mother in law had a mri done one monday of this week and the findings were,
the l1-2 disc area demonstrates a recurrent small central disc protrusion. there is a minimal degree of left paracentral componet to the disc protusion. This does nto appear to efface the exiting nerve root. there is evidence of a left hemilaminectomy surgical defect. There is a etensive left perinerual scar enhancement. The right exiting nerve root area is normal . the nerural canal volume is normal.
any help out there should she see a back doctor and in your opion will she need surgery again or could theraphy help?
