I don't know why it was posted on thoracic report and not lumbar. I have lawyer helping me with SSI and the diagnosis from the neurosurgeon of bulging/herniated disc, spinal stenosis and facet disease will help my case but to put my mind at ease, I need to find out if they diagnosed spinal stenosis based on the finding of ligamentum flavum thickening in lower lumbar? I know SSI will read report and I want to understand it before they start throwing comments my way. I've spent HOURS researching everything because I want as much knowledge as possible. Does anyone know of site that you can upload a photo on??
