MRI Report and enough pain for a lifetime
 

I've had enough pain for a lifetime. Sometimes I just look at the Morphine, etc and wonder...today?
I feel so alone and the pain is so severe. I have so many spinal abnormalities that my spine is inoperatable. Can anyone explain Schmori's nodes, severe straighening of the normal lumbar lorosis. Also, I have bone marrow edema of the endplate of L3-L4 and posteriorly at L1-L2. There is so much more but if anyone out there could help with these questions, I would appreciate it so very much. Also, if there is anyone who just wants to talk...I need that so much.
Thanks

I can't find much on the Schmori's Nodes -

:eek:Good Morning All,
Thanks to everyone for getting back to me so rapidly. That means so much to me. I used to be a Surg. Tech. in my "before" life, so I do have quite a bit of built up knowledge but I am not a physician, that's for sure!
Now, I'm off to my G.P. Pretty sure I've got H1N1. Oh, sooo much fun. I'll let everyone know this afternoon. 'Til then, be good.

probably schmorl's nodes
