I've just had 2 admissions to Hospital this month due to severe back pain. I was unable to move and having agonising spasms through my back.
I was given XRays, ultra Sound, CT and MRI scans but I'm still confused about my actual results. The MRI report states a protruded herniation of L3/4 disc and a t8-t8 focal central protruded herniation & 4cm syrinx at 1.16 mm from T7-T9 as well as showing up some minor degenerative changes L5/S1.
Does this MRI report mean that I have protruded herniations in 2 seperate areas of my spine i.e. thoracic and lumbar areas?
I've been treated with high volumes of pain relief and am home on crutches now feeling a lot more comfortable but confused about the Medical report, can anyone explain it to me in simple terms please. Much appreciated.
