Hi Joanne,

An MRI will show better than a CT scan if the soft

tissues like spinal cord and nerve roots have been

compromised and also show how damaged the discs are.

From there the doctors will have a better idea on how

to proceed. Their recommendations could start with

conservative approaches like physical therapy and/or

steroid injections or may be more extensive like

removal of discs and fusion if nerve or spinal cord

damage looks imminent. I'm sorry that your daughter is

in so much pain. Did she have an accident of some

kind?

Welcome Joanne!

I too am rather new to the group and I am sorry that your daughter has

problems at such a young age. The group is made of experience- knowledgeable

people who suffer with many kinds of cervical and lumbar problems.They can

surely help and support you.

As Rochelle posted the MRI is probably the best diagnostic tool for divulging

everything that an Otho or Neuro would need to know.

Take care and keep us informed of any further developments.

Sincerely,

Annie of the woods

Hello, my name is and I live out side of Lexington KY. I had never heard

of Asperger's Syndrome until I read a artile on CNN.com about the teenage boy

that was lost in the subway and it said that he would not ask for help becus of

his condition. I was curious and went to mayoclinic and read up. I have 3

children. a 6 year old daughter who is your normal 6 year old and 4 year ols

frat boy girl twins. my boy is the center of the group he goes above and beyond

in his social skills and loves attention. Then his twin she is the complete

oposite. Very quiet calm when out of her home settings. When at school she will

not self invite her self to do anything from every day things as going to the

bathroom to giving her teacher (that is also her sunday school teacher and we

have known for manyyears) a hug. She can work a 300 piece puzzel from the inside

out with out the picture. she is very soft spoken even to myself at home when

she wants something is just slightly above a wisper and I have to put my ear to

her to get what she is saying. she does not like to shop and has been this way

since she was little. during play time at school she will go to the corner of

the room and work puzzels (the preschool has had to get new ones just for her)

or she will play in the kitchen area but will not interact with the other

children. she will not raise her hand to answer questions, ask questions. or if

prompted for a answer if she answers it is again a wisper.

Thank you in advance for any help or advise that you have. I am in no way

diagnosing my child but if there is a name for her behavior then I think it

would greatly help us and her teachers adjust to her.

Thank you

Mom to , Stacey &
