Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 Hi Everyone, I received a copy of x-rays done in December. I am not sure what this all means, so I've come to the experts for help. It says: LS-SPINE WITH OBLIQUES Three radiographs of the LS-Spine obtained in the upright position without shoes demonstrates scoliosis of the LS-Spine with convexity to the left side. (Does this mean I have a C-shaped curve to the left?) No bony bar is noted. No vertebral anomalies seen. Pedicles are intact. Paraspinal areas are unremarkable. (Is all of this good?) Face joint arthropathy is noted at L4-5 and L5-S1 levels. (What does this mean???) Thanks for your help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Does this mean I have a C-shaped curve to the left?) You have scoliosis that I guess would be idiopathic since they identified no cause. I don't know if it is C shaped. Guess it could be from the description. > No bony bar is noted. No vertebral anomalies seen. Pedicles are > intact. Paraspinal areas are unremarkable. (Is all of this good?) Yes, that's all good. > Face joint arthropathy is noted at L4-5 and L5-S1 levels. (What does > this mean???) You have arthritis of... could that be facet joint instead of face joint?... at two levels. , are you having primarily low back pain?

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2008 Report Share Posted February 13, 2008 It basically means everything's normal except lumbar scoliosis with convexity to left (spine sticking out to left) and you have degenerative process at facet joints of L4/L5 and L5/S1...that's probably due to increased stress on the joint due to scoliosis...it's just another way of saying arthritis or the joint is getting old...

What does happen is that its opponents gradually die out, and that the growing generation is familiarised with the ideas from the beginning.

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Hi , Yes, it is primarly low back pain. I tried looking it up on the internet, but couldn't find any really good descriptions. Thanks. > > > > Hi Everyone, > > I received a copy of x-rays done in December.
