It’s better to make a CT-scan or a MRI from your back. Then they can see more at it. On that photos they had seen my hernias.

Xray do not pick up disc or tissue problems.. unfortunatly because of insurance companies the doctors need to send in to things in order.. xray, phsyical therapy, etc.. before they send you for an MRI. MRI is the only thing that will truelly ppick up what is going on. Request it

I currently have really bad lower back pain – and the pain is radiating up and down, right and left, back and front. I had an X-Ray, and it came out normal. Anyone who can help me, so I don’t have to keep going back and forth to the doctor and finally decipher what this is?

i had this…. except mine was with the entire back half of the disc ripped out and the nucleus pushing hard against the main nerve of the spine….. causes pain to course throughout the body especially in the legs down the main nerve…. fixed in 3 hours by a surgery.
hah!
haha a bit of both. …
haha a bit of both… disc herniation often occurs because of poor posture (+ repetitive straining to the intervertebral disc) or trauma (e.g. fall) which causes the herniated disc to rupture and push against the spinal nerve causing pain
