Hi,

I've poked around this site for a month or two now. There are many posts where sufferers have cut and paste thier MRI findings and asked for interpretation.

If this has not already been stated, everyone needs to do this with an incredible grain of salt! Unless the responder is trained in reading MRI's, it is all mystical rhetoric. And even then, MRI's are rarely exclusively diagnostic and are ordered to verify and substantiate clinical findings. They are supportive in nature. I do understand the impulse to throw ones findings out there for the masses, but you mine as well throw out an adjacent question for someone to "describe the universe using examples."

I only bring this up as I have watched very few threads evolve into anything that was helpful and I've seen some that could potentially hurt the poster. Please, just wait for your doc to explain your MRI findings at follow up AND relate those findings to your clinical exam findings and history.

Please do not misunderstand my intentions, I just hate to think that someone may get hurt!!!!
