I hope everyone is having a good morning. It's a beautiful fall day here in RI

after a night in the 30's; however, I hated to have to turn the heat on.

I would greatly appreciate an explanation of what " vertebral body hemangiomas "

and " spondylolysis without spondylolisthesis " really means. I'm not finding much

information on the internet or at least nothing that makes much sense to me.

Thank you in advance.

I guess it depends on who's reading it. Spine docs see a lot more than the

radiologists.

Hi

I am curious- if the MRI sees the Spondylosis on the exam, will it say so in the

report?

In other words other than saying there is narrowing between spaces, if you have

osteoarthritis the report should pick that up and say so?

thanks,

,

Same thing happens where my toes actually get stuck in a strange

position....they look funny but its not something that you can pull and

fix......and it hurts like a SOB when it happens..the spinal cord stimulator

gets rid of all the leg pain.

Im seeing my Neurosurgeon I havent seen since last june. The buzzing,

tingling, aching, toe curling in 2,3rd toes on right leg and foot have

become pretty much unrelenting.

I know he will want a discogram done and I think Im ready to do it.

At least it will be in the hospital setting under lite sedation.

Something is going on and its got to be more than my right SI joint acting

up.

When Im riding in a car and we go over a bump coming down is a deep ache in

my back, same when I step down on a curb sometimes, it feels like something

is compressing somewhere and yet all my MRI's look very benign- small

annular tear at L4, small central herniation at L5, some narrowing of disc

spaces at L3,L4, L5 and thats all they see.

I have had 4 MRI's since 2006, and still the same. But leg and foot getting

worse. When I look at the toes on my right foot, secone, third and fourth

are really looking distorted compared to my left foot.

ugh.
