I'm sorry you're confused.

I am not sure what to suggest to help here. I'm sorry you had shingles so badly. I had it but very mildly in comparison to what you describe.

Quote:
IMPRESSION. there is multilevel disc degeneration and bulging which is severe at the L5/S1 level without focal disc hernias ion, significant spinal stenosis or nerve root compression. No local root compression to explain left lower e termite pain.
Did it say extremity pain.

Is the pain you feel like nerve pain? Do you have neuropathy?

Just curious if you've been back to your doctor since your MRI.
You have the results but I'm wondering if you've seen her/him already or if that appointment is yet to happen?

Thank u so much for your response. Yes it feels like nerve pain that just keeps jabbing me like it did with the shingles. My doctor has diagnosed me with the Postherpetic neuralgia as a result of my shingles and mild neuropathy with my diabetes. I am running into trouble with my case as my LTD carrier has required me to file for SSDI due to my conditions. I am just now starting the 2nd appeal and from the conclusion of my redetermination appeal they think I am not disabled and I am able to sit and/or stand without any problems. This conclusion came to them after a 5 minute exam that was useless in my opinion as it didn't even begin to address my back issues. Never once was I emamined or even asked about my continued nerve pain from the shingles on any part of my body including my back. My question now come from the results of the MRI'S. Do they indicate anything at all that explains my extreme pain in my back and neck. TIA.
