The MRI report states a protruded herniation of L3/4 disc and a t8-t8 focal central protruded herniation & 4cm syrinx at 1.16 mm from T7-T9 as well as showing up some minor degenerative changes L5/S1.
Does this MRI report mean that I have protruded herniations in 2 seperate areas of my spine i.e. thoracic and lumbar areas?
I've been treated with high volumes of pain relief and am home on crutches now feeling a lot more comfortable but confused about the Medical report, can anyone explain it to me in simple terms please. Much appreciated.  |
Yes 2 herniations. Some reports will clarify if mild, moderate or severe..
I'm not up on the sizes of syrinx and what symptoms they may/may not cause.
But basic web search should tell you that info.
How long til you follow up with your doctor? I hope dr will show the images and explain more details for you..if not ask for that..
