My symptoms are specific pain in lower left back. Sometimes pain seems to go through to the front of me. My left leg will hurt. Hurts when standing and walking too long. Sometimes have a "heat" sensation on the back and the thigh.
my Doctor has scheduled me for MRI with contrast and a full body bone scan. Hopefully I will know. I am a little concerned. The MRI also states that the Edema signal in L5 is more prominent that one would expect given the extent of degenrative disk disease at this level. Infiltrative lesion cannot entirely be excluded. So now it is wait for the tests and then move on.
Hi,
How are you? What are the symptoms present? Degenerative spinal disorders are a group of conditions that involve a loss of normal structure and function in the spine. This is caused by a variety of issues such as aging, infection, tumors, muscle strains, or arthritis. Spinal stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal canal, is a condition potentially more serious than degenerative disc disease - the spine and nerves may be significantly compressed causing both back pain and pain that radiates to other parts of the body. Treatment usually depends on the initial evaluation. It is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper management.
