Guest guest Posted February 17, 2006 Report Share Posted February 17, 2006 I finally have answers to why I have suffered so much with low back pain along with what I call continuous cramping at the top of my thighs and down to the back of my knees. The x-rays show scoliosis of the lumbar convex to the left centered at the mid lumbar level. Loss of disc height at L2-3 with severe endplate sclerosis and osteophyte formation. There is more minor degenerative disc disease at L4-5. So, , a, whoever, does this mean I have to learn to live with this agonizing pain? At my age and because of other health problems I am not a candidate for a spinal fusion. At least now I know what is going on and why the pain, for some reason I find I can cope better when I can put a name to it LOL.
