When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

herniated disk

The expression انزلاق غضروفي usually refers to the protrusion of an intervertebral disk, not of a vertebra.

Spondylolisthesis, on the other hand, involves a displacement of one of the lower lumbar vertebrae, not a disk.

agree neuneutek : Herniated Disk is so correct. One more term that I hope may help is: Disk prolapse. Both terms are commonly used in medical texts and hospitals. Slipped disk is another that is commonly used among patients even if not so correct. :)

spondylolisthesis

forward slipping of the body of one of the lumbar (lower back) vertebrae on the subjacent vertebra or on the sacrum, the triangular bone at the base of the spinal column. The condition is often associated with incompleteness of the vertebral arch, which surrounds the spinal cord. Pressure transmitted to the arch from above encourages slippage.
Peer comment(s):

disagree neuneutek : Spondylisthesis is "forward movement of the body of one of the lower lumbar verterbrae not of the intervertebral disks!"
