Diagnosis: LumbagoClinical question: disc degenerationSigns and Symptoms: pain began after epidural for childbirth 4 y prior Five lumbar type vertebral bodies are presumed to be present which are appropriate in overall alignment and height. The conus medullaris on sagittal imaging is grossly intact.At L5-S1 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina. There is a central disk protrusion which is slightly eccentric towards the left at this level which minimally affects the nerve roots at the lateral recesses. There is a clear fat plane between the nerve root sleeves and the ligamentum flavum. There is disk dessication present at this level.At L4-5 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L3-4 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L2-3 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.At L1-2 there is no significant compromise to spinal canal or neural foramina.
