Looking at my example, I have a herniation that does not look so bad on MRI, but I have pain that I would not classify as pain, but more as teaser shocks. The nerve roots are slightly moving in the spinal canal/neural sac and can be positioned differently from person to person, I would guess. Therefore, my herniation is not giving me pain but shocks because I think it hits the nerves that are positioned more on the front of the spinal canal. Alternatively, the MRI doesn't show my herniation properly because I had the MRI when everything returned to normal. I experience these shocks every 1-2 months, and my last MRI was done just after I fully recovered from the last episode. When I have these shocks, I’m on strong medications, lying in bed for a week, and then I have a massive body shift three weeks later. All the muscles around my waist (on the left side of my body) are very stiff. After a week, I start a series of exercises and hang on the bar, and the condition goes away after another 3-5 weeks. When I was fully recovered, I had the MRI, so I guess it doesn't show the compressed neural sac. If the MRI was done during the episode when I have those shocks, it would probably show the compression and bigger herniation. Is that correct?

Is the Odontoid Process fractured?

When I was 16 and diagnosed with a curved Spine and Wedged vertebrae, which was revealed later to be called Scheurmanns Disease. If they had braced that as a teen instead of ignoring it, it may not have deteriorated to this point which added in my mid 20's with Osteophytes; early 30's, Disc Bulging. All that ignored and add Cervical Bilateral Neural Foraminal Stenosis at multi levels in later 30's. Issue still ignored, and add Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, a compression fracture, and many other Disc Bulges, 40 years old. The 2 Neuro Surgeons and 2 Orthopedic rejects I seen just passed it off as nothing, due to being complete reject Surgeons , so it was passed off again. Tried loads of Pain management injections - the next one will be Radio Frequency Ablation, which is taking forever as Canada loves to breach the Canadian Health Act with us all and I'm suing my pathetic government for this. If the RFA works, so well and good for 10 months, but I can't see a surgery being delayed forever, even if no one is willing to touch it here in this reject Province of Newfoundland, Canada. Canada is way behind the times when it comes to technology and my province (Newfoundland) is the province that time forgot. Stone Age Province. Anyone have any thoughts and in a similar boat while being failed by surgeons to help, and a failing government and no idea where to go to get actual options?

What the name of the app

What the name of porgram

Hindi me video upload karo na sir please🙏🙏

Wow the pain must be unimaginably.

From karnataka. Sir my problem is Lumber spondylosis Diffuse posterior disc bulge with small fissural tear at L4/L5 causing indentation of traversing nerve roots and Broad based posterocentral and bilateral paramedian disc herniation at L5/S1 causing moderate compression of traversing nerve roots more left side. Pls help me sir doctor told surgery but i don't like sir pls give me sugestions

Your voice is too much less .so bad..

You missed the L3-L4 schmorls node, the reduced disc height is synonymous with a compression injury and resulting broad based bulge. Assessing a picture without load in the spine, without an in person clinical diagnosis would definitely make you think it isn’t a cause of pain. Maybe it’s a scar and not a wound, but your reasoning did not indicate a clinical test for this. Broad based bulges are tricky, but looking for nerve drag is definitely a repeatable offence.

Great video, a bit hard to hear you, had to increase the volume all the way up .

This is exactly what my mri scan looks like. What can I do to rectify this? Thank.you

For the lay person, this is a good basic explanation of what a lumbar MRI shows. I can now review my own MRI with a better understanding of the landmarks. Thanks, doctor.

Having been in the medical field for over 40 years, I can state that this is an EXCELLENT review of what a herniated disc looks like on MRI. I learned a lot. He explains it well. Thanks you Sir!

when i was MRI of my spine .the impression are:finding are suggestive of degenerative disc diseas L4/L5 and L5/S1 with median disc protrusion at former level and median and right paramedian disc extrusion with inferior migration at the latter level..plz help sir ...my back pain had been since 2 year..what is the perfect solution for this problem?

Man, why do my MRI slides look so horribad compared to this? Mine are so blurry they are barely readable. :/

Hi i have an MRI scan which i am a little curious about as i believe that there's something wrong with the cervical spine but i am not entirely sure what it is. can you help me out please?

Dr jeffery is it possible for you to look at my mri they are all located on my UA-cam channel im just looking for opinions of things you might see not an internet diagnosis im in a desperate situation bed ridden for 8 months in sever pain and im just trying to gather opinions so I can ask my treating physician's to look closer at things they may have over looked my symptoms are extensive and life altering im considering suicide if I cant get help there isn't much point in sticking around here I think anyone would agree

For the S1 nerve compression you mentioned in the video and if there were resulting slight muscle weakness and slight numbness in the toes, what in your experience would be an expected period of time for the numbness to resolve. thanks, great explanatory video.

chest , total knee in both knees and shoulder has srew can have a mri run on my back

omg no... get me out of this meat sack

Modic changes are reason for pain. This is just a stupid gready dr. Get treatment for the inflammation. Remove the pain. Google modic changes antibiotics

Dear Doctor Jeffrey P. Johnson excellent lecture about how to read and treatment spine diseases after spine MRI. I look forward for next. regards

I've been suffering w/back pain for 14years (sports injuries and degenerative disc disease. I've had multiple MRI's done over the years and docs have only wanted to do epidurals (Have had about 11 or 12) or RF procedures (have had 2). 4 years ago, Neurosurgeon replaced 3 cervical disk w/cadaver bone and installed hinged plate. That relieved pain between shoulder blades but legs and low back still a problem. Just had new MRI today and reading my own MRI's and believe I have a far lateral herniation as mentioned in this video. Can anyone suggest the best way to mention to my doctor? There's got to be something surgically that can be done to relieve this pain. I don't want pain pills. They kept me on strong narcotics for 9 years. Thank God I'm off those. I really don't want to seek a 2nd opinion if my doc doesn't catch this. I would like to help lead him in the right direction though seeing as though he always seems rushed. (Radiologist missed prob w/my neck, I asked my neuro to take a 2nd look at films and I was right and he did surgery within 2 weeks)

How old is this patient?

THANK YOU, Dr. Johnson, for a well done explanation (and visual) of a far lateral lumbar disc herniation. I had one happen to me on 3March2009 at L3/4. I was 54yo at the time and had had 3 previous lumbar surgeries already, one at L3/4. This far lateral disc herniation caused me to not be able to even stand up. Had to pull my leg up to my chest and sleep sitting up and crawl to the bathroom. My MRI was originally misread by the radiologist. I spent 10 days in the hospital undergoing multiple tests to try and find the cause of my extreme pain down my (L) hip & thigh. I described it feeling like my muscles were being ripped from the bone and put through a paper shredder. My orthopedic surgeon encouraged my neurosurgeon to review my MRI more thoroughly and that's when he found the far lateral herniation. Post op my neurosurgeon told me it was a "surgeon's surgery" ....he was excited to see what he saw and wished he had a camera at the time. Said it's a rare (about 4-5%) herniation type and he had only ever seen one prior to mine, while he was in residency. When they did my MRI, I had been given an epidural in order for my leg to be straightened. While surgery was successful, I did sustain permanent root nerve damage affecting the function of my left thigh muscles. I know the nerve root damage was sustained when I underwent a bone scan and was forced to keep my left leg out straight for the procedure. I asked for an epidural but was told they didn't have time to get an anesthesiologist lined up to do it. I said I'd bite the bullet for the procedure. When being taken off the scan table & placed back on the gurney to transport back to my room, I screamed several times (& nearly fainted) in the worse pain I've ever felt. I have not been able to stand completely upright since and now require a walker and motorized cart for getting around. This damage has ultimately caused both knees to go bad. I never had knee problems prior to this. First, each knee sustained meniscus tears to be repaired. One in 2010 & other one in 2011. Then both knees needed replaced in 2012. Unfortunately, the left knee did not benefit from the replacement. Because everything is connected in these bodies of ours, when one "link" is kinked, it causes issues to develop elsewhere. *sigh* This is hard to explain to people. I am a visual person, and your explanation, using the MRI, has helped me a lot, in looking at my own MRI. THANK YOU!

excellent

i wondered what it really was-this explains it simply in my terms-thanks for the info--im going for an mri tomorrow
