For most individuals suffering from lower back pain, a common diagnosis is a herniated disc of the lumbar (lower) spine. This video—understanding the MRI of a Lumbar Herniated Disc-is designed for the primary care physician or specialist, such as a Chiropractor or Physical Therapist, to use to learn how to read and understand the MRI of the lumbar spine. This video shows a scan of a disc herniation-you will be able to understand what a sagittal view is (side view) and what an axial image is (the bottom up view). Although most people prefer a top down view, Radiologists prefer a bottom up view. It is recommended that you first watch the "MRI of a normal lumbar spine" first to understand this video more thoroughly.

Please review this video to learn more about understanding the MRI of a lumbar herniated disc.

Is it possible to have this for several years? I think I've had it for 20 years now. I have never had insurance, thus never an MRI. My pain is always but sometimes much more extreme and changes throughout the day. I only get relief by extreme S-bending my spine sideways with pillows or foam wedges. Not good for posture I know but nothing else works.

I understand. Nothing seems to cause pain like a compressed nerve from a herniated disc.

@zarthok1 On x-rays, CT, MRI etc the left appears to be on the right side of the image. If it was reversed, a chest x-ray for example would look backwards, like you were looking at the patient's back instead of the front. Looking at an MRI is like looking at somebody standing in front of you: their right is on your left and vice versa.
