It's too bad your doc isn't ordering the MRI with contrast too -- that's usually better at detecting problems when it's ordered with and without.
If you get a report of the MRI for yourself (you CAN ask for it), and then post it here, we can explain it too you. Best of luck and I hope that nothing is seriously wrong. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee

Thanks Lee! I called my Dr office & let them know what the Dr ordered & what my concern was & the girl said, no that will show your mid back. It shows a good portion of the spine. So I said, oh really? I thought lumbar just meant lower back but it will show the middle of the back also? and she said yes. Hopefully this won't be a waste of time.
