Hi Bobbi
sorry...guess my ignorance on this subject shows by lack of detail, but I am relaying pretty much as told by hubby
he got his MRI results back yesterday and went to the doc and chiro and then came home and told me what they had said
He has been suffering severe pain in his
lower left back area that radiates outward to his hip, and that is the area they xrayed and did the MRI for. After the first xray he was told there was "compression" in the area...I honestly dont know what that mean in more detail
The MRI reports states:
(I am just quoting the last section as the rest seems to be an expansion of that for each area covered)
Quote:
