glentaj,
I just sent MrsD an excerpt from my 2006 MRI. Since I truly do not understand all of the terminology I can only go by what my doctors have told me. However, the one statement about "THERE IS DISC HERNIATION POSTERIORLY ON THE LEFT ENTERING THE LEFT NEURAL FORAMEN WITH MASS-EFFECT ON THE EXITING NERVE ROOT" bothers me. Can you provide any further explanation? Thanks.
