Basically, the vertebrae of the spine and numbered in different sections. L = Lumbar, C = cervical, and S = sacrum. They have a herniated disc in the lumbar 4 and 5 This is where you have a little pain, because they are not aligned normally.

What's osteophyte complex at L5-S1, which is where bone chips were developed in the spine for some reason. These bone spurs are the cause of the stenosis is the narrowing of blood vessels, or others in the region. What will make tons of problems such as pain or numbness in various areas, such as foot (or any other area where the nerves are connected).

Treatment can range from a series of operations to alleviate the bone spurs, cortisone injections, etc., but note that even the best doctors are not satisfied with the conduct of the operation for spinal surgery. There are many risks and complications.

Good luck and I hope it helped. If you have any questions, happy to help in any way I can. I am a certified medical assistant. There is a nurse, but Ifor a doctor who had spent half of his company, compensation of employees. I support between doctor, patient and workers comp and collected a considerable amount of knowledge when it comes to injuries of the spine! lol
