Incidental Haemangiomas
by tappler, Mar 06, 2009 05:08AM
Afer a miscarriage and D & C I lifted something and had lower back pain that came on slowly. Soon the pain extended down into my coccyx and buttock and hip, I felt like I was sitting on a golf ball. An x ray showed that my coccyx was very bent and I could have had an operation to remove it, but declined. This was over 20 years ago.
I have suffered all this time with on and off back ache but mostly soreness, pain on the left side of my coccyx which comes and goes but lately is almost constant. Had an MRI recently which showed incidental haemangiomas within T12 and L1 vertebral bodies. No distal cord, cauda equina or nerve root compression. Everything else is normal, so I was told not to focus on the haemangiomas but if everything else is OK, couldnt these be the cause of this.
Thankyou.

Spinal hemangiomas are benign tumors of the spinal hemangioma and rarely produce clinical symptoms. However sometimes they can cause compression fractures and neurologic dysfunction.
So hemangiomas can cause neurologic symptoms although rarely. I would suggest you to seek a second opinion on this.
It is difficult to comment further without clinical exam and looking at the reports.
Thanks
