I have inconsistent MRI's both done by different Neurosurgeons. I had more trauma to my neck last January from an Inner Ear Perfusion nightmare procedure, that did some damage to what was already damaged. Then in Dec of last year I was sent to PT by a Ortho with NO diagnostics. The PT was super aggressive. Second visit he Popped the L4 disc. I heard it and felt the sting. by the time I got home I had level 9 pain going down my lumbar, hips and legs. It has not let up in a year.

And this MRI is different than the one done 2 yrs ago. It shows less damage.
As far as I have learned none of these issues repair themselves, especially a compression fracture.

No T zones were done, only C and L zones. Where as the one 2 yrs ago had all 3 zones.

L4/5 biateral facet arthropathy, R sided annular tear present. Diffuse disc Bulge, very mild spinal stenosis at this level, no foraminal encroachment.
L5-S1 loss of dis height. No significant dis bulge or focal herniation, no protuerane on neural foramina.

Lumbar vertebral body heights and marro signal appear normal alignment normal, conus at the T 12-L1. Impression Facet arthropathy, annular tear L 4. L1-4 levels normal.

C3-5 mild disc bulge, hypertrophy is present on Left, left sided foraminal stenosis, right-sided foraminal narrowing. C4/5 greater degree of diffuse disc bulge, this is in clost proximity to spinal cord but down not compress cord. Biateral uncovertebral hypergtrophy is present with bilateral foraminal stay stenosis.

C5/6 diffuse bulge close proximity to spinal cord, no compression, bilateral hypertrophy present with bilateral foraminal stenosis. 2 mm anterior subluxation of C5 in relation to C6

C 6/7 minimal disc bulge 2mm anterior subluxation of C6 in relation to C7,

C7- T 1 normal

Impression encroachment at C3 right, C4 biateral and C5 biateral

The MRI from 2 years ago shows bone spurs, bulge at the T 11-12, annular tear. L4/5 compression fracture impinging on S1

The L4 annular tear is new, PT popped the disc I heard it, and felt the sting. By the time I got home I had pain radiating down my spine, through my hips, and down both legs. This has been an ongoing issue for a year before I could get a new MRI done.

I do not understand the big differences in the 2 sets of MRI's both done by different Neurosurgeons. I am in constant level 7-8 pain, can't take pain meds the cause drug induced GERD/IBS bad. Same goes for the Osteo drugs, they tore up my GI system.
