I m a certified personal trainer. After the birth of my son I have been having ALOT of back pain and other problems that didn t exist. THe doctors recently did an MRI and this is what was found. can you help me figure out what it means. Disc desiccation at L5-S1. Minor posterior bilateral paracentral bulging wild mild encrouchment upon the ventral thecal sace and mild central bilateral neural foraminal stenosis . Increase T2 weighter signal intensity along the posteral margin of the l%-S1 consistant with nannular tear. What does this mean?
Hello Heinrich. Welcome to Chat Doctor. As you have mention ur prob, the desiccation means Chat Doctor. .the function of disc is to act as cushion between the vertebrae bones and prevent the injury to the spinal cord and spinal nerves also. In your case the s little compression of spinal cord which is creating pain. This happened after delivery of your baby. During pregnancy the all the ligaments and muscle becomes lax due to hormonal secretion which is normal.but that takes time to regain normal strength after delivery. So u need to consult an orthopedic and physiotherapist. You need proper positional training, training to handle baby, and some exercises to get rid of pain. And u can strengthen your back muscle...to have a happy health fit life... With regards
