Please read my MRI, Headache ruining my life.
 

Hello,
I am very happy I found this forum, I am Driss(22) from India and I am having some severe symptoms from 6 to 7 years, which I think is stealing my life. I was 12 years Old and got hit by an Scooter and got a Blood clot on the right hand side, which end up with 22 Stitches.

After some years I started getting Headaches, gradually increasing from Once a Month to Twice to Sometimes Thrice a Week. I suffer from all kind of Headaches sometimes Migraines, sometimes Tension and little bit of Cluster. I also suffer from some severe depressed mood and experiencing extreme fatigue after every breakfast. I am also experiencing loss of vision from 2 years and wearing specs since then. From 2 years my libido is finished and I am having alot of midsection fat around my stomach, I am 5'7 and I weigh 70kg and I think most of my weight come from my midsection fat.

I have consulted some Doctors, but I think they don't take me seriously. From every visit I end up getting some NSAIDS or Multivitamin, that's all.

Recently I got MRI diagnosis which one Doctor recommended me. I had attached a MRI report which you can download and read. I would be very happy If anyone can read and post a reading here. and Sorry for my poor English. Thank you.

Here Is MRI scan

I am also attaching a bubble diagram for easy understanding me.

Hi
you need to attach these images instead of trying to link them...see the attachment section below the posting box

I can't, there's 100's of Deep scan MRI images.

Hi
I don't think members here are going to be able to go through 100s of images. Remember we are a community of patients, not professionals, so other patients are the ones that will be trying to help you based on their personal knowledge or experience. So it would be best to either attach just a few of your images, or wait till you have linking privileges, but again, I just don't see how any member is going to be able to look at 100s of MRI images to assist you. It may be best to seek professional advice from your physicians?

Even I can't attach images.

Here is the FAQ for how to use attachments -

Here are some attachments.

Did you happen to get a copy of the written report?
Sometimes posted images are just to hard to see clearly, if the report is posted too it might help.

The scooter accident was a hit to your head?

Have you tried an expert chiropractor that does upper cervical adjusting as well as soft tissue therapies?
Maybe also Acupuncture, naturopathic drs?

Yes I have a written report.(attached)
Yes I got hit by a scooter handle directly to the head.

No I haven't tried any therapies. Actually doctors aren't taking this seriously they have prescribed me only Multivitamin & Etodolac. And suggested me not to lift heavy weights that's it.

What do you think, all my symptom's are causing from this disk degenerative disease?

I think our Spinal & PCS/TBI forums might be the most helpful for you.

I will move this thread to the spinal forum for you.

You can explore the PCS/TBI form for answers also.

Hi ~ I'll try to help

There's a small posterocentral bulge at C6-7 impinging the front subarachnoid space. The subarachnoid space is a space that runs the whole length of the spinal cord.

There is degenerative disc disease from T3-4 thru T8-9 impinging on the front arachnoid space. Degenerative disc disease is drying out of the discs. When they dry out, they tend to flatten and bulge/herniate. There is also mild L5-S1 degenerative disc disease impinging on the thecal sac. The thecal sac is a membrane of dura matter that surrounds the spinal cord and cauda equina. It is filled with cerebral spinal fluid.

Can you take your MRI films to a NEUROSURGEON for an opinion? You should have a Neurosurgeon look at these films and see what he thinks.

I wish you the very best. Please let us know what the Neuro says, ok? God bless and take care. Hugs, Lee :)

Thank you so much Leesa, for taking time to read.

I have consulted to 2 Top Neurosurgeon's in here, One says "Are you having any major problem other than this" , he thinks all my problems are nothing but minor and common. Another one also kinda same and prescribed some Medicine(I have attached the prescription of both doctors.)

What do you think, is it serious, all my symptoms(Mention in First post) are causing by this and should I continue with prescribed medicine or consult another doctor?
Thanks again for replying.

I want to lose my stomach fat(which I think causing stress on my spinal), can I do Cardio Exercise (Running specially)?

Hi Driss ~ Sorry it took so long to reply. I looked up what he prescribed and I can't find it ANYWHERE, so I don't have a clue what it is. :confused: Did he tell you what it's for? Is it a pain medication or an antidepressant? Or didn't he say anything? :rolleyes: Sometimes they don't, which is crummy.

Your MRI isn't serious. Basically your problem is degenerative disc disease which everyone has -- it just depends on the severity. Yours seems to run from the Thoracic spine all the way thru the lumbar spine, which is pretty normal .If the other 2 Neuro's think the same thing as your doctor, then you can pretty much figure that nothing bad is going on -- and I can't see anything either. :confused: So if you continue to have a lot of pain, ask your doctor to send you to a Pain Management doctor. They may be able to help you find some relief, especially in the pool -- pool therapy is great for the spine. :D

I wish you the very best! PLEASE keep us posted, will you? I'd really like to know about your progress. God bless and please take care. Hugs, Lee :)
