What Does My MRI Scan Interpret ? What Would Be The Treatment Indicated For This? Do I Need Surgery?
Hi. I was recently in a car accident. I got my results from an MRI that I had done and this is what was said: Central linear annular tear associated with broad-cased disc herniation at L5-S1. Note is made of lumbar lordotic straightenin. C3-4 disc is dessicared, normal in height and shows herniation. C5-6 disc shows focal central disc herniation without neural encroachment. Cervical lordotic straightening. What does all this mean in simpler terms? What would be the treatments indicated for this? Do i need surgery? Any answers and suggestions will help. Thank you.

Hi,
Definitely you need surgery i.e. discectomy.
discectomy is now-a-days done by small incision & recovery is very fast.
for surgery you can contact me at drsssoni@gmail.com

Hi Dear
Welcome to HealthcareMagic.
Firstly , sorry about your accident.
The report reads that the normal shape of the spine is disturbed , with the nerve tissue getting compressed / coming out of place at the level of low back and two places of neck. Considering the extent of damage , surgery can help you.
Take care.
