Brief Answer:
It does not show

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Regarding the movement it is most probably jerk response due to pressure over nerves along their course.

The current MRI shows prominence of right annular bulge which could be responsible for jerky movements.

I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
