Hello, I need some help in understanding my MRI. I was injured , it is a personal injury case in which I was hit from behind by a loaded stocking trolley full of canned goods so high I couldn't see over the top of the trolly.
I've never had back pain at all no where is there medical documentation that I've had any treatment nor sought treatment for my back. My problem that bothers me is my TPA that I've seen for my knees forever, ordered the MRI at which time he said, I had spondylolisthesis although I had a fracture that was caused from the trauma from the accident that was a new fracture.

He refered me to a DR I didn't know nor did I have confidence in, he proceded to tell me this was not due to the accident he didn't think, how can they disagree and in the same office and I'm assuming that my PA saw the MRI and it showed a new fracture how do I know. I've got the reading I got it for myself because, of the intuition I have about the back DR.

I'll include the report if it will be helpful..I have the mri cd also anyone know what a new fracture shows up as ? all help is welcome thank you all..

The harder case to prove would be a traumatic spondy but if the date of injury is within 12 months, a bone scan would likely light up and shed light on recent insult. That said, should you have had a pre-existing spondy, they are inherently weaker than normal anatomy and could have been asymptomatic prior to your injury only to become symptomatic due to your injury. You need a good attorney and great experts!
