Avatar m tn Hello, I have been suffering from herniated disk for about 2-3 years now. I play basketball and have not been pain free for all this time. I am seeing a therapist (chiropractor) and my disk seems to be fine now after a lot of work. Even so, I always have the pain and I cant even jog without stiffening up. Is there somebody that can help me?
Avatar n tn I have a partial herniated disk or bulging disk at L5-S1 and told that I do not need surgery. I am in constant pain that never goes away. I have tingling in both feet and was told to see a foot surgeon he tooked one look at my MRI and laughed he said you have a L-5 disk injury no wonder your feet tingle. At the time the MRI was taken there was no tingling in my feet it only developed 2 months later.
Avatar f tn What I meant by permanent damage was if the nerve is pinched long enough it will kill the nerve off. I herniated 3 disk in 99 and only have 22% of the feeling from my waist down now. This happened because I did not press the doctors that I had seen for two years when the pain first started. I woke up one day in severe pain with numbness tingling and muscle problems and literally woke up the next day paralyzed.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, I have been suffering from pins and needles in my left arm and tingling and weakness in my index, thumb and second finger for about 4 week after having severe neck and shoulder pain for 3 days. I would be very grateful if you would decipher the results of my mri scan as I have to wait some time for an appointment with a neurosurgeon. THERE IS A LOSS OF THE NORMAL CERVICAL LORDOSIS CONSEQUENT TO MODERATELY SEVERE DEGENERATIVE CHANGE AT C4-5, C5-6 AND C6-7.

Cannot find out who can help me find out what normal is now. I feel like I am being passed around from doctor to doctor with only a diagnosis but no prognosis. What am I supposed to do now????
Avatar f tn The herniated disk in your L4L5 mite not be messing with your hands. Did you have an MRI or C-scan of your cervical spine? If not you should get one. Also you may want to see a neurosurgon if your doctor does notknow how to help you. This web site has helped me understand more with what is going on with my back. It also explains the nerves and where they go. http://www.****.com/conditions/spine-anatomy/radiculopathy-radiculitis-and-radicular-pain Best wishes.
Avatar m tn Dear Sir or Madam, I have some questions: I was seeing an orthopedic doctor for shoulder impingement in Feb during which time I developed neck & back pain. Doc ordered MRI that revealed C5-6 posterior disk herniation indenting the ventral aspect of the thecal sac worse on right side. That said I made an appointment to see pysiatrist who performed an number of test. Which were: Sed Rate result 48 (high) Protein result 7.6 (normal) Aldolase result 5.
1831846 tn?1318378596 on the 18th of this month, where I will be demanding an MRI and referral to a specialist. But the CT scan states no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, ventricular system is normal in size and configuration, withough evidence of hydrocephalus. No discrete parenchymal masses nor evidence of mass effect. There is a slight inferior displacement of the cerebellar tonsils, suggesting a mild chiari 1 malformation. No extra-axial blood or fluid collections are identified.

Avatar m tn Attached is a jpeg of image 9 of 18. The third disk from the bottom shows a bit of abnormality for lack of a better word toward the right - would you agree? I also have other views and those in a direction perpendicular to this if you want to see those. Thanks!
233622 tn?1279334905 The way I understand it is a CT scan shows finer detail that an MRI doesn't. I think the CT scan is good for small things like blood vessels and what your doctor was looking for. I do NOT know this for sure. I just remember hearing that an MRI looks at things in a different way than a CT scan. I would post this question under a new post so maybe others will see it and can answer. I have thought about seeing if there is a T3 in my area.
Avatar n tn Recently had MRI and it showed a herniated disc at T 7-8. Consulted with neurologist & Neuro surgeon and they said it was large. I am not experiencing pain, tingling or weakness. They indicated I will probably need surgery, and a complicated one, sometime in near future. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn Thank you for your reply. I have had a Lumbar MRI it showed degeneration and several minor bulges but nothing of significance. This was done last September with the Cervical MRI. I didn't have the leg weekend and tingling then so I thought it was all related. It has been 7 months since the injury and I've been doing Physio 3 days a week from the begining with no improvement. I haven't been given a collar but can get one at the pharmacy if you think it would help the pain.
Avatar n tn with regards to your MRI SCAN i cAN GIVE YOU SOME INFO.in general you have a narrowing in your spine .in the bit where the nerves go {thats why you may have some leg pain].Also you have DDD this is simalar to Arthritus it may give you pain but not always. you have a small slipped disk ay L4/L5. I take it from your results you are 30 + in years? are you male? have you had an op yet? as a person who has had two ops on his back i would advise AGAINGT it if you can!!
Avatar n tn CT scans show the detail of the skull bones, and provides a visual image of mineral content in or around these masses. MRI scans complement CT scanning by providing a picture of the location of the cyst in relation to the blood vessels and vital structures of the brain There are specific types of cysts. They are named for the type of tissue from which they arise and for their contents. The most common cysts found in the brain are arachnoid, colloid,dermoid, epidermoid, and pineal cysts.
Avatar n tn After this surgery my leg pain went away but my back pain was still there. In January of 2011 that same disk herniated again with the pain down my left buttox and leg. After aonther MRI the surgen said he needed to remove this disk and fuse the area together. I have not been out of pain since then. Now the pain is in my back and my right buttox and leg. Just went for a 3rd MRI yesterday to determine what is next. I have been out of work for 2 1/2 months now and my job is not waiting for me.
Avatar n tn Just had an MRI and results are c5-c6 degenerativebulging disk and posterior osteophyte. Question is "can this bulging disk and osteophyte be caused by an antalgic gate from hip arthritis.
Avatar n tn I have been diagnosed with a herniated disk (L5) with nerve impingment which causes severe pain from the waist area down the legs to my knees. In 2000 I fell from a fire escape (about 7 feet) and landed directley on my lower back. I went to the hospital that night, but no x-rays were taken and I was treated and released. The diagnosis at the time was a strained/sprained back. Shortly after I began suffering headaches and pain traveling up from the bottom of my neck.
Avatar f tn If the doctor is doing no test I would have him go to a neurologist, or request his doctor do a MRI, CAT scan. Hope my info was helpful. Best of luck to you and your son.
881463 tn?1245345649 Junig, Thanks for the input and thought of a herniated disc. Would the chest CT I had picked up a herniated disc on the thoracic spine? Also you mention there are other conditions that could cause a similar pattern of symptoms. I was wondering like what based on the the wide range of tests I have had including negative Bone scan, Chest X Ray, Chest/abdominal ct with contrast, Gastrocopy, ecg/s heart stress test and allot of blood work ?
Avatar f tn This has been going on for three months now and seems to be getting worse. The only medication I take is 30mg of oxycodone for a herniated disk. The pressure in the chest seems to get a lot worse after my dose. I don't know what else this could be. I don't think I have GERD because I don't get a burning sensation or feel like there is acid coming up. I also don't think it's constacondritis because I can't recreate the pain when pushing on the area.
