MRI terms??
 

Left paracentral disc protrusion at T8-T9 causing mild effacement of the left ventral lateral spinal cord without definite cord signal abnormality.

Left paracentral disc extrusion of T11-T12 with mild effacement of the thecal sac without defibite cord contact.

:eek:

I moved your question here for follow up discussion.

What specific terms do you need help with?

Disk material is mildly touching spinal cord @ T8/9
Disk material is not contacting spinal cord @ T11/12

this link has most of the terminology- it can explain them better than I can..

What & where are your symptoms and pain?

I have the same question. What are you symptoms?

My symptoms
 

My syptoms are, exreme pain in between my shoulder blades, I al have pain in my upper back and my neck, but I also have feelings where it feels like it is catching. I have tingling in my mid back, too. When it first felt like it blew out, I had extreme pain that wrapped around to my stomach and had very bad stomach pains, right in my diaphram area. My hands an fingers are always getting cold and numb, and I thought at first that it was carpal tunnel, but for both arms, hands, and fingers to start doing it at the same time, I really think that it has to do with my back. I have already had 2 low back surgeries, L4-L5.
