what does dessicated actually mean with discs?
When the MRI scans say you have dessicated discs - what does that actually mean? Is there some kind of chemical/structural change inside the discs - or does it just mean the disc height is lost or its bulging - or does it mean they can see that they've dried out or some other affect like that?
thanks
Rob

surfing injury 2004 - transient paralysis from neck down for 15 seconds, resolved fully - herniated c5/c6 disc plus some bulging at c3/4/5. Initially had dermatome pain after injury which resolved - general parasthesia in arms/legs was fairly mild after injury but has been worsening.
