Hello!

Welcome on HCM!

Regarding your concern, I would explain that these CT scan findings are indicative of a disc herniation, compressing the nerve roots at this level.

Do you have leg pain? Do you have difficulty walking caused by the pain?

I would recommend discussing with a spinal surgeon on the possibility of surgery.

Meanwhile, I would recommend avoiding prolonged standing up or seating position, weight lifting, etc..

A lumbar brace and painkillers may be helpful.

Best wishes, Dr. Aida
