I have been through the mill with w/c over this injury. Got hurt in march went to md, then went to neuro for emg and mri, these are my results. L5-s1 narrowing of the disc space with loss of signal in the disc with posterior protrusion of the disc at l5-s1 on the right encroaching on the right lateral recess and right neural foramen. L4-l5: mild bulging of the disc diffusely without significant encroachment on the thecal sac or nerve roots. There is some facet hypertrophy with mild stenosis of the lateral recess at l4-l5 bilaterally. Mild bulging of the t7-t8 disc without significant encroachment on the thecal sac or nerve roots. Got this report yesterday from md because w/c has denied my claim, neuro wants 200.00 to see him and md only 65.00 have lawyer fighting for me have deposition aug and mediation sept but what is exactly mri mean?
