L5 compression fracture; C5-6 herniated nucleus puposus. I have never used fifth lumbar or lumbar five. Most docs I have had always dictate as L5 or C5-6 and also some do C-spine or L-spine. easier for them, I guess, as well as whoever reads the report.

barring that, the AAMT has come out saying that "disk" is preferred over "disc" (for whatever that's worth), though both are still acceptable.
I've had some clients with a preference for "disc" with respect to the eyes, and "disk" when referring to the spine, but the vast majority (in my recent experience) have shown a preference for disk in all cases.

You have several choices here that are correct. You can put E:A reversal, E/A reversal, or E to A reversal. If no client preference, your pick - all are correct.
