back and leg pain
 

Does anyone know what degenerative sclerosis in the pars interarticularis is and how you get it:confused:

http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/greet013.gifHELLO and WELCOME!!!!

I can't say that I've heard of degenerative sclerosis in the pars interarticularis I had to break it down by definition....

degenerative(adj.)Of, relating to, causing, or characterized by degeneration: a degenerative disease.

sclerosis(n.)A thickening or hardening of a body part, as of an artery, especially from excessive formation of fibrous interstitial tissue




pars interarticularis: The region between the superior and inferior articulating facets of a vertebra; frequently the site of fracture in spondylolysis.


I know that probably doesn't answer your question.... but maybe it helps you to understand a bit better...

Hi Rfei57 and Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry about your leg and back pain. I can relate and know how miserable it can make you feel. Abbie has done her homework and given some great definitions for the rest of us *meaning I was too lazy to look it up, thanks AB!*

Please make yourself at home and check out the Spinal forum. I, myself, have found some helpful info there. Welcome again!

Hi, I'm new to this site. I just got some x-ray reports back. I have a ruptured disc at the L5/S1. But, the report had pars defect involving the left L5 pars interarticularis, facet set arthritis. I am getting ready to surf the web and see what I can find out. I feel for you. Hope you have a better day. I will get back with you, when I find something out.
