Whether The Doctor Associated The Slip And Fall With The Herniated Disk?
Question: Please analyze the data and explain to me whether the doctor associated the slip and fall with the herniated disk.
Brief Answer:
The fall is very likely the culprit.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
It is clear that the symptoms of back pain, leg pain, and sexual dysfunction are related to the stenosis at the L4-L5 and the herniation facing the nerve root at the L5-S1 level.
If these symptoms started right or in the following days after the fall, it is very likely that the fall caused the herniations, or, at least, worsened significantly them.
The neck may have been damaged by the fall too, so, I agree with the opinion of the Doctor for an examination with an MRI of the neck.
A soft collar may be used for relief until the examination.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
