Ordinarily, I wouldn’t go into such detail in an MRI report when responding to a viewer question, but in this instance, it actually served a purpose: The issues discussed in the MRI sounded really complicated, but in fact they were only describing 2 simple issues- There was a disc bulge pressing on the spinal cord, and there was a reduction in the size of the hole through which a nerve exits the spine. SOOOOO….all that complicated medical jargon provides us physicians with good specificity so we know exactly what we are looking for, and where it is- but the problem the report is describing is actually pretty straight forward.
Karen, I hope some of this information is helpful. Please let us know how you move forward with this.
All my best wishes for your speedy recovery, however you proceed.
