Lumbosacaral Disc Disease
Lumbosacral (L-S) disc disease is a condition that occurs when pressure is placed on the spinal nerve roots in the lower-back area. Clinical signs usually occur gradually and range from pain to inability to jump into the car. Paralysis almost never occurs.
Lumbosacral (L-S) disc disease requires MRI for accurate diagnosis. Treatment involves removing the disc material from the spinal canal. Overall the prognosis following L-S disc surgery is good to excellent. Recurrence at the same or another location is possible but unlikely (5-10% chance).
