Common Questions and Answers about Mri scan of elbow

mri-scan

Avatar f tn The doctor said it is a bone bruise. On he Mri it showed white in the middle of the elbow joint. The doc noticed that her inside one (bone) is out a little farther than the other one. He took her restrictions off and told her to use it and is going to put her in physical therapy. The more she uses it the more it hurts and the joint swells up. If she doesnt use it it is ok. My question is should I seek a second opinion or go to the physcial therapy and try that?
Avatar f tn Because of the pressure I injured my elbow. The doctor took XRay scan of my elbow (twice - one each week) and advised me to be in crape bandage plaster for one week. Last week he told me that he cannot see the fracture and hence asked me to remove the plaster and start exercising But I have stiffness in my arm because of which i am not able to stretch it completely. When I apply pressure (using my other hand ) to straighten it up, it hurts.
Avatar n tn Yes, you definitely need to go and get an MRI or CT scan. If you're still having symptoms like blurry vision it may be more serious than you think. Go get a head scan ASAP!! good luck.
Avatar n tn Last week he had a full body scan that revealed no tumors on any other bones. They are suspecting multiple myeloma however, many of his blood results do not reflect this particular cancer. I can add complete results if it would help. I am so scared and so confused....
Avatar f tn I was experiencing pain that was waking me up at night that seems to radiate from my right upper abdomen to my right flank and into my right clavicle/scapula area and even down into my elbow. This persisted for about 4 nights, each episode seemingly happening at the same time every night. Then it started happening during the day, later in the afternoon. I thought I was having gall bladder attacks so I saw my doctor who ordered tests (ultrasound, MRI, hida scan).
Avatar f tn I have had pain in my right elbow for many years. I have had a MRI scan on my neck some years ago, but nothing showed up. Consequently, no treatment was offered. Later I decided enough is enough, so I saw my GP again. She suggested I take Amitriptyline to help me sleep through the pain. I only get a very low dose -25Mg. I decided to stop taking them recently, as I did not like the idea of taking Antidepressants for a non-depressive condition, but the pain is now back worse than ever.
Avatar f tn The pain in his left elbow has returned. He has undergone multiple nerve conduction, emg, mri of the legs, arms, neck, brachiel plexus, blood work, etc. According to Drs, we are now just waiting for the "disease to declare itself". After 18 months, we need answers, good or bad. The only thing mentioned recently is possibly ALS. Where do we go from here?
Avatar f tn Some cases may be prevented by good posture and proper use of the elbow and arms, such as sleeping with the arm straight at the elbow instead of keeping it tightly bent, or keeping the head properly centered over the cervical spine instead of slouching”. Taken from http://en.wikipedia.
465775 tn?1268454288 Nothing specific makes it lock it just happens very randomly. I have had an MRI scan and a CT scan on the elbow both came back clear. I also had a key hole exploratory operation on it with nothing found and yet it continues to lock and hurt when it does so. Any idea what it could be would be most appreciated?
Avatar f tn My son has had arm pain, below the shoulder, above the elbow for five months now. He has had 4 xrays, an MRI, and a bone scan, and they can not give me a diagnosis. Been to PT numerous times. They said he had little league shoulder, a broken shoulder, a large calcium deposit, nerve damage, he had a cortisone shot in his joint, (with no change), every time I take him they can not give me a diagnosis, then change what they think it is. I took him to the chiro, he has had cupping done.
Avatar n tn I know I can't get a real answer without proper diagnosis and I am going to see a recommended Surgeon on Friday. He did my wife's carpal tunnel surgery, with success, so I am hopeful. I have been dealing with Right Wrist pain (right dominant individual) for over a decade. I have had two surgeries for tendon release, with temporary success. I moved about 7 years ago and sought out a new Orthopedic in 2005.

650397 tn?1228831384 Take care and pls do keep me posted on how you are doing and what were the results of your MRI scan.
Avatar m tn You can also let his doctor know, but he/she most likely will not have the equipment needed to see if your father had a stroke or not (be able to do the testing like an MRI or CT scan). Let us know how he does.
Avatar f tn Regarding anatomy, you stated the lump is a couple of cm's above the elbow bone on the ulna. However, the bone above/proximal to the elbow is the humerus, whereas the bones below/distal to the elbow are the radius and ulna.
Avatar f tn I had a cervical MRI and the results are posted below. I will only see my doc in few weeks and the latin words are scary to me. Symptoms are neck pain, attrocuous pain in right shoulder, and tingling in top of forearm into the index and middle fingers, cold (cavity) feeling in my elbow. **** Findings: The craniovertebral junction is normal. No signal anomaly in the cord. The bony alignment is normal. The bone marrow is unremarkable. C2-C3: No hernia. No spinal or foraminal stenosis.
Avatar f tn If PET scan is normal, it means all the areas of the brain are taking up good amount of sugar. This is rare with a lesion. An MRI which is normal can confirm the findings of a normal PET scan. The slow build up may not significantly alter the amount of sugar uptake. The PET scan should be ideally interpreted by a Radiologist, preferably a Neuroradiologist. PET scan and EEG are two different procedures, running on two different principles.
587778 tn?1261397118 If your X-ray shows some type of abnormality, then yes you should probably have a scan. But you have to wait until the X-ray results come back. Both MRI and CT's are good, although I think MRI's are more commonly used on shoulder problems. You probably need something to help with the pain, pain causes anxiety. Hope you get some answers soon.
Avatar f tn Yesterday I received an email from my doctor stated a finding in my CT scan. CHIARI MALFORMATION 1. MRI tomorrow to confirm. I had an MVA 2 months and I have trouble focusing, blurred vision, headaches, and back pain. Thinking it was post accident but reading the s/s I realized it. I have vertigo and neck pain for 3 years too. I'm nervous and scared of how my future would look like.
Avatar m tn I have a pain in the back of my neck which when it gets real bad will travel to the right side of my shoulder, down my right arm, to my elbow and sometime all the way down to my fingertips. Pain started about 3 years ago and upto about the last 6 months has become a bit more manageable but has never fully healed. Doctoers did a bunch of test until they finally found that I had nerve damage in the C5, C6, C7 vertabrae. Is this something I should continue to check out?
Avatar f tn She is a high level competitive gymnast and was just diagnosed with OCD in the right elbow. The MRI shows a 8x8.5mmdefect on the capitellum of osteonecrosis and a displaced fragment of lent inform shape anterior in the joint. There is a small joint effusion. This is about 5 weeks of rest for the arm. She has no pain, or grip issues with day to day movement. Range of motion is full on extension and minor change on flexion. What would you recommend? Is surgery automatic because of th loose body?
Avatar m tn It all started on Feb 17, 2014 (about 6wks ago) I was doing really heavy 1-arm preacher curls (which is nothing unusual for me to do.) But Once i started my 3rd set, i felt this pain through my right elbow. It was like it was very deep or in the back side of the elbow. I couldn't really finish my bicep workout...just continued with very light light weight. The pain has been identical since that day, no worse or better. Day to to day activities i don't feel it.
Avatar m tn I think if you went to a neurologist and had a scan done of your cervical spine, the doctor will find what is amiss, be it in the disk replacement that was done two years ago, or another disk that is pushing on a nerve. You should expect to be able to hold some papers in your affected hand without difficulty, so the source for the problem must be found and corrected if possible.
Avatar f tn Hi Spiderlaura, Welcome to the Pain Management Forum. I am glad that you found us but sorry to hear about your elbow pain. The elbow is a very busy joint and we use it more than we consciously realize. Three long bones join at the elbow and there are tendon, ligaments and three major muscles. There are many conditions that can effect any of those structures.
Avatar f tn Hurts to even lift my arm to blow my nose. I have severe pain on the inside of my elbow. Had a C5-C6 neck fusion done about 10 yrs. ago. Hospital done a CT scan when in ER and this is what the report says: There is no evidence of an acute fracture or subluxation. At C5-C6 level, mild to moderate left central posterior disc protrusion is noted causing narrowing of the anterior subarachnoid space and the left lateral recess. Postop changes with fusion of C5 and C6 vertebral bodies are noted.
1058566 tn?1254343525 That's sort of what the doctor told me too. Do you think it's something that will clear up on its own or should I persue more medical attention for the condition?
Avatar n tn X-ray is must, but it will tell about the condition of the bone. To know about the muscle pathology, i would suggest you to do the MRI scan and then proceed to an Orthopaedician.
