Here I was going to post today the results of my lumbar/sacral/tailbone MRI and last night I fell. Was at my daughters and walked down the stairs to their family room (with slick shoes on) and my feet flew out. I fell down several flights, hitting my tailbone and twisted to the left to stop the fall resulting in a badly bruised arm to boot.
I can't sit directly down at all! I'm on my tailbone pillow tilting forward.
Of ALL places to land on!!! 2 weeks after my tailbone MRI!
And I still haven't gotten a referral to anyone, still waiting for that.
The IMPRESSION (the abstract of the MRI) is:
Quote:
|
Moderately severe degenerative disc changes at the L4-L5 level with a very large posterior disc spur complex. Moderate degerative disc changes at the L3-L4 level. Gross change from 9/6/2005. The sacrum is normal. There is a spur formation along the anterior margin at the junction of the first and second coccygeal segments compatible with old and possibly chronic trauma. Focal moderately severe degenerative changes at the junction of coccygeal segments 1 and 2.

I wonder if landing on my tailbone this weekend and then having the MRI would have made any different in the picture.
Sigh.
It was REALLY hard driving home from the kids. Had to sit on my hip and try to hold myself up at the same time. Cruise control is good.
