It just indicates that it is a bone growth material is inserted in place of the nucleus?? I requested the free information and received it last week. WOW. Looks like an option.
My problem summarized on the MRI as:
L4-5 central canal stenosis and bilateral neural foraminal stenosis secondary to bilateral facet hypertrophy and broad based annular disc bulge
AND
L5-S1 disc desiccation, left neural foraminal stenosis secondary to bilateral facet hypertrophy, left greater than right.
I wonder if the report has the two descriptions reversed because they are worried about L5-S1 and discogram confirmed L5-S1 wouldn't hold any fluid. I know that I'm at the end of the road in tolerating the pain.
