mri does it look ok. im worried

hi i was in a motorbike crash 7months age. mri was done of my lumbar spine, results were unremarkable. i have pain accross my butt and down the back of my legs to my toes. if i extend my back a little i get a sharp pain. also i cant do normal things like hold up the newspaper to read it. mopping the floor causes considrable pain. i have pain in my thoracic region, somtimes feels like a cold or flue feeling (stiffness). breathing is somwath redtricted also. i have pian in right side of my back above waist. i have pain in neck also. urinary problems bed wetting. there is some thingling if i lie down and put my hands over my head. im seing a new specialist this month for second opinion and new mri of thoracic region. anyway my question is can you look at my mri of my lumbar spine and tell me what you think. you can see my thoracic spine in the mri although nat all of it. i think there is a bulge between t10 t11 and a lack of fluid also. i know you might not want to give an opinion but im wondering if someone else can see what i see. here is a link to my mri the image is not great as i scanned it into my pc and then posted it.

thank you for your answer. the reson i ask about the disc bulge is that i have compared it to other images  of bulging disc that i have found on the internet and it looks like them. on the origanal mri you can see it more clearly. also it looks like the other disc's on my mri are more hydrated, thank you for you answers. good job.

O H my God, Dr Nassim finally appeared on the screen. Dear nosleep, I am so sorry my brother because it took me sometime to answer. As you noticed this poor doctor is the only one who takes care about everybody on Medhelp.. Can u imagine, I am proud of myself. Finally thank you for using Medhelp an subsequently waiting for your personal answer;

here Im telling you that I saw your MRI, very well looking to it, I discovered that you could have a transiant spinal shock syndrome with late cobnsequences; my dear friend I will also propose u a treatment as well;

1- start to take Duloxetine 30 mg evening for 1 week then swich to Duloxetine 60 mg evening for a second week then make it a morning dose for 2 months then tell me about your pain.
2- start to take an oral solution of 2 ml of CITICHOLINE morning at noon and evening, do not stop your treatment before 4 months.
3- take half tab Tolterodine or Oxybutynin each evening 1 hour before u fall asleep.

you will be fine with this combination, remenber : regain your previous activity as soon as possible even if u r in pain

yes i did have globalized soft tissue injurys also. the doc on charge of me when i was admitted to hospital not ortopidic. the reson i was admitted under him is because i was nocked out for a long time. he orderd mri of lumbar spine only. in my mri i think you can see some of my thoracic spine. and to me it looks like a bulge at t10/t11. i have compared it to other mri images on the net and its the same. my mri report only reports on two of my lumbar disc's rather then my hole spine. i have loss of sensation in my grion area also. when i went to see this dr as an outpatiant after tree month i was told i was under the rong team and that i should have been under ortopidic. still no PT. then when i seen a PT they would not do PT on me cause of my loss of sensation in fingers, she wrote to my GP and asked for guidance. then i seen the ortopidic and he told my to go for PT and come back after tree months, went back still no PT and h then told me to come back in tree months. so i asked for copy,s of mri films and report. and made an appointment to go to private clinic to see ortopidic and uroligest ( bleeding / bed wetting ). tis is not a case of me getting good treatment and still complaining i have not had good treatment. as a matter of fact when i was in hospital the doc told my " ah just lie there till u get better, i can do no more"and walked away. the nurse told me he had had a bad day. i have gotten worse not better. i thought that some dr's were on thes site to answer questions and maby look at films.  

this is what happend in crash. im driving at 45kph  on a motorbike. a guy shoots across my path and i hit the side of his car. i slide up my petrol tank and hit the handelbars  it gets me across the hip area and grion. i then smack of the driver front window pillar hitting my left side of my body. then i hit the ground with the back of my head all this while the car is still moving. i end up under the car and firecrew has to lift car off my.

i was running 3 times per week minimum 30 k and martial arts 2 times a week. i was working as a chef also. alll this has stoped. any way thats some moreinfo for yo

yours nosleep
