I have lupus....and the docs have been blaming much of my back pain on lupus. Finally, I asked for an MRI because my spine hurts from the top to the bottom. I was only able to get a cervical MRI and a Lumbar MRI.
These are the results. While I'm waiting to hear from the doctor, please give me some input.
- Reversal of the cervical lordosis
- Degenerative Disk Disease
- Congential partial fusion of the C2 and C3 vertebrae
- C5-6 posterior disk protrusion with measurement of 5 mm and mild spinal stenosis
- C6-7 posterior disk protrusion with measurement of 3 mm and minimal spinal stenosis
- C7-T1 Posterior disk protrusion with measurement of 3 mm and minimal spinal stenosis
- 7 mm x 7 mm hemangoima on T12
- Hyperlordosis
- T12-L1 mild posterior disk buldge
- L2-3 mild right and left posterolateral disk buldges
- L3-4 mild posterior disk buldge
- L4-5 mild posterior disk buldge and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy are visible
- L5-S1 mild posterior disk buldge
Thoughts? Translation to English? I think it means....my back hurts, but I guess I'm looking for a little more explanation!
Thanks!
