Avatar m tn Hi, I need help to understand my mother's MRI (MRI of Lumbosacral Spine) report. Please see the report details and share your comments on it. No fracture or collapse of vertebrae. Circumferential posterior disc bulge at L4/L5, causing modest to marked pressure on thecal sac and neuronal compression in both lateral recesses. Bulging annulus posteriorly at L3/L4, causing indentation on thecal sac. No evidence of osteomyelitis. No tumor mass is seen. Normal paravertebral soft tissues.
Avatar n tn However my clinical picture (very functionally debilitating, unremitting pain which leaves me mostly home-bound) suggests further testing is necessary. Normal MRI of the lumbar, thoracic, cervical spine and brain, normal CT of the lumbar spine and flexion/extension x-rays have been unrevealing (Aug. 2019) as have several blood tests (Mar. 2018: CRP, ESR, FBC, Glucose, PSA June 2019: ACE, Albumin, C(3,4), CCP, CK, Comp.
Avatar f tn I too have cervical spondylosis and mri scan showed parts of my brain have been damaged - I have had dizziness for nine months - I recently bought an inversion bed, oh my, what heaven, I just love it, and my dizziness is less - the extra blood going to my brain will I hope help keep alive what brain I have left (I am only 58yrs this year) - I thoroughly suggest you look into this amazing bed, its changed my life for sure.

Avatar m tn Exam: MRI Lumbosacral spine without contrast Completion Time: 03/06/2017 14:14 Clinical History: LBP. Comparison: Lumbar spine x-rays 11/19/2013 Technique: Routine pulse sequences were obtained including sagittal and axial T1 and T2-weighted images. In addition, sagittal STIR images were obtained. Findings: The lumbosacral spine is normal in position and alignment. The conus medullaris is clearly visualized and terminates at a normal level without evidence of intrinsic or extrinsic lesions.
Avatar f tn X-Rays show I have severe spondiloses of the cervical spine, and spondiloses of thoracic and lumbar spine with, narrowing of disc spaces and ostephyte formation Scoliosis of mid-thoracic and lumbar spine I also have pain down my right leg and tremor in my right arm I recently saw a Nurologist who said I had considerable wear and tear in the cervical spine and the lumbosacral spine with radiculopathy and paraethesias.
429171 tn?1205560206 Hi, The symptom suggests that there is radiation of pain from back till your feet. In the lumbosacral spine, radicular symptoms are caused by an intervertebral disc bulge, protrusion, extrusion, or sequestration that compresses and inflames a nerve root in approximately 98% of all cases.
Avatar f tn MRI results cannot always show problems that do exist for example on moving there can be irritation of nerves etc.Also the results of an MRI very much depend on who interpretes them...as they do need alot of experience to read correctly. if you are still not happy get a second opinion... I didnt do this myself and suffered for a year before I asked for one.Immediately they identifed the problem by a more thorough exam plus re-reading the MRI.
Avatar m tn As part of a neuro workup, I had an emg. It revealed peripheral nerve damage, specifically left lumbosacral radiculopathy affecting the L5 level, and damage to the tibialis anterior muscle. A subsequent MRI of my lumbar spine showed multilevel degenerative disc disease, a compressed nerve, and 2 areas of moderate spinal stenosis. I also had an MRI of my cervical spine at Quix's suggestion -- no lesions but mild spinal stenosis beginning there too.
Avatar m tn One of my friends is having severe back pain and as suggested have "MRI- Lumbosacral spine without contrast" got it done. The impression showed desiccated L5-S1 intervertebral disc. Mild left asymmetric diffuse disc bulge at L5-S1 level causing mild left neural foraminal narrowing. Mild diffuse disc bulge at L4-5 level causing slight thecal sac indentation. Note is made of over distented urinary bladder.
Avatar f tn Now, the lumbosacral spine that is the subject of this post, the discomfort there began several years ago, I thought it was just an aging processs, maybe the disks were fading or arthritis or something. Recently the pain became quite sharp, so I had an X-ray, and all the disks are in place. I was declared normal in the lower back. But how come the pain?
1378884 tn?1315505845 I had an MRI of lower back and hey found nothing L5 a bit swollen and my a bit of trauma to my tailbone, no impingement of nerves found.. Am I nuts for asking for an MRI of my hip?
Avatar f tn Had an MRI a few days ago and doctor had called to say everything looked good except "normal wear and tear." However, under the impression section he wrote "OK" next to everything but the last item which reads, "Nonspecific signal intensity changes within the bones of the lumbosacral spine. Clinical correlation suggested to exclude anemia.
Avatar f tn Hello. The MRI lumbar spine will show the lumbosacral spine. Just to give you an idea, MRI imaging is very detailed to the area of the body the scan was ordered. Each body part is separate and would require an additional order and would be a separate CPT code. Even when scanning a pelvis, we refer to it as a bony pelvis or female pelvis depending on the history of the patient. Of course, there could be an incidental finding that would require additional imaging.
Avatar m tn Hemangiomas are abnormal collections of blood vessels and can occur in any vascularized (supplied by blood) tissue. In your case, they are present in the bones and surrounding soft tissue of your lumbosacral spine. They are considered benign and are probably unrelated to your current symptoms. If it is large enough and involves the entire vertebra, it could cause pain.
Avatar n tn Sounds like lumbar nerve root compression, but the only way to find out is MRI scan or myelogram.
Avatar f tn The lumbosacral vertebra form the remainder of the segments below the vertebrae of the thorax. The lumbosacral spinal cord, however, starts at about T9 and continues only to L2. It contains most of the segments that innervate the hip and legs, as well as the buttocks and anal regions." http://www.travisroyfoundation.

Avatar m tn Sagittal and axial T1 and T2 weighted images of the lumbar spine. COMPARISON: MRI lumbar spine without contrast dated 11/01/2010. FINDINGS: The distal cord and conus medullaris are normal. The conus terminates at T12-L1. Lumbar alignment is anatomic. There is minimal chronic anterior wedging of T12 and L1, likely physiologic and unchanged. There are no pathologic areas of marrow signal abnormality.
Avatar f tn Also the sports physician wants to do injections in the facet joints of my thoracic spine but did not do an MRI of that. He told me that he had to do an MRI of my cervical spine based on his examination. He believes the pain near my shoulder blade is a facet joint & the only way to test that is through injections. I am not keen on that.
Avatar f tn I am pretty sure that surgery, quite horrendous, is reserved for the young, whose skeleton has not reached maturity or for those individuals with life threatening curves that encroach on the lungs, heart etc. There are many reasons for pain in the spine and the MRI is the gold standard to detect herniated discs, deterioration of the spine etc. I hope you get a good report and if something shows up, I hope you get an easy fix. Good luck in your diagnosis/treatment etc.
