Glad you were able to find it online!!
I will assume that your pain corelates to the injury (lumbar herniation).
What has you doctor suggested to you?
Yikes, A frozen shoulder sounds awful! You don't need that in addition to your back pain. Glad it is feeling better.
Please keep us posted!!

Thank u for your advice -did as you suggested got a brilliant explanation of this part o the mri results.
frozen shoulder is where the arm feels "stuck" and to move it results in more acute/chronic pain,presumming its a result of the constant tenseness and one sleep position due to the other problems,it is getting better!!!

sounds like you have a herniation at the L5/S1 and it is compressing (or touching) the s1 nerve root.
Do a web search for L5/S1 herniation and radiating pain... see if that corelates to the pain you have.
The shoulder is not related to your lumbar problem.
Not sure what is frozen shoulder is.. does that mean you can't move it?
