Hi
Thanks for sending the images across. Would you happen to have the report for this scan?
As per the images attached I am unable to see a significant disc prolapse as these images are concentrated at the sacral level not revealing significant nerve root compression.

Hello. Aashish XXXXXXX
Dr. XXXXXXX sorry it has taken me a few days to get back with you. Conversely, here is the data you requested. I hop this assist you in given me a more definitive and direct answer sir. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Ps: In your las reply you stated that if herniation is dark its considered an older rupture and if it was lighter or white it means its related to a recent trauma. If I'm correct sir, please let me know.

Hi
Thanks for attaching the MRI report.
It appears you have disc prolapse at various levels in the neck, more so at C5-C6 and C6-C7.
Dark disc means that it's dehydrated. This is one of the earliest stages of disc prolapse.
Light disc means that it's not dehydrated and still contains water in it.
I'm afraid it's not mentioned in the report that there is an 'acute' disc prolapse which could mean the direct result of the trauma. It would be helpful to consult the Radiologist who reported your MRI top determine if there are acute target than chronic or long term changes causing the disc prolapse.

Thank you for your response. However, the medical language has me bit confused. This is my understanding from what I've gathered from your evaluation.
I research the term a"Disc Prolapse or Ruptured dis is just another term for herniated disk.
Query:1. lower back that effects my sciatic nerve was the disc herniation dark or light
2. The dark/light disc responsible for my current problems?
Note: I'm send you the doctors report with these queries I think this is what you where requesting.

The following images consist of the cervical/Lumbar spine in their entirety. 1-?. They will be seperated by paperwork prior to each MRI. These images are lapse of the MRI imagery. This will be everything you need to give me a definite answer in whether the accident caused these injury. Please take your time and please be honest and realistic with your final summation of my injury. Each image are JPG's.

Detailed Answer:
I am now able to see the axial sections of the lumbar spine. The prolapsed disc regions of the lumbar spine show disc dehydration by appearing to have a darker centre than the normal lighter centre on normal discs. Darker centre means that disc has undergone a process of disc dehydration and there are no abnormal fluid signals to suggest acute or sudden traumatic tear of the annulus leading to an acute disc prolapse.
My opinion is my no means for medico legal purposes, and is only an explanation so that you may understand in less medical terms about the disc Pathology.
This goes in keeping with chronic changes expected in degenerative disc prolapse.
The MRI report also does not mention any acute traumatic change yup the spine or discs.
Your MRI report will be legally admissible for your legal purposes and you may consult your Radiologist for the final opinion.

The degenerative changes in the discs had already begun to occur likely much before your injury. The fall may/may not have aggravated the event of disc prolapse or herniated disc, which can be demonstrated in the scans by the fact that the affected discs have already been dehydrated which is a long term process to occur.

I’ve consulted numerous medical professionals while allowing you to expound your medical opinion. Accordingly, they are in opposition to what you just explained. regardless of the dark color there exist light areas in the herniation as well as light spots putting pressure on the sciatic nerve. As explained to me, regardless of the dehydrated disk, herniation will and can occur also from a trauma. The color is merely a small aspect of analyzing a herniated disk problem. Because a disk can and will survive non herniation even without hydration unless its injured. This is true. Yet you failed to indicate this in your report. Due to a dehydrated disk doesn’t mean it will become herniated. It has to sustain a trauma or impact in order for it to become a bulge or herniation. Dehydration means its more vulnerable and susceptible to injury. This is correct Dr. XXXXXXX Yet you never told me this. Why? Another thing you forgot to mention is that regardless of how old a dehydrated disk is, a slip and fall can still cause a bulging or herniated disk in the darker dehydrated disc. The age of dehydrated disc does not mean it’s already herniated. What is means is if an injury takes place the dehydrated disc has no cushioning and connective tissue between the vertebrae and can caused herniation by excessive strain or trauma to the spine. Therefore, it was actually (trauma) that cause my dehydrated disc to herniate regardless of the color. Because the signs and pain accompanying a herniated disk did not manifest until after the injury. But you failed to explain this in your report. Everything I just stated you know to be true. But you took a medical oath to help me but it’s apparent that oaths don’t mean nothing in this day and age. Right?

Hi
I have mentioned that dehydration usually precedes degenerative disc prolapse. This is the normal pathology that occurs and I cannot change that.
In your MRI there is disc dehydration seem which indicates the process of disc degeneration which can lead to prolapse had already begun. Your fall may/may not have contributed to the prolapse. Usually falls/acute trauma aggravate an existing disc prolapse causing it to get worse and does not cause sudden disc prolapse in a perfectly normal non-degenerated disc.
In your MRI your discs are already degenerated. The fall may have contributed to aggravating the condition but it cannot be confirmed if the disc prolapse was already present because you have not provided an MRI to me before the injury.
