Back/Spine Doctor: Help reading X-rays of herniated discs and unknown joint shift?
Hi Docs,
(Age: 28, Sex: Female, Height: 5'2", Race: Asian, Lower Back Pain: 2 months)
My girlfriend recently visited a back doctor in China and received X-rays and CT scans. The Chinese doctor explained that it was an L5/S1 mild herniated disc and L4/L5 mild disc bulge. He also said that the x-rays revealed some sort of joint shift but it was pretty unclear? So, I tried to do my own research when I got home about the joint shift but was not able to find any information. Can someone please glance at the x-rays. Also any suggestions on treatment and recovery tips.
