Mri Help

[beenseen121]

Just wondering if someone could help me out on my mri report !!!!!!!! I have been going through this pain for almost 2 yrs now. I am a truck driver ( well i was till injury ). I fell off the back of my truck down in between the frame while hooking to a trailer. I have already had a knee scope done and a fusion on my cervical spine c5-c6.... Have a feeling that its gonna be my lumbar next.. Have tried everything pt, injections, pain meds of course.... even went out and bought a sleep number bed and a teeter hang up ( you know the inverted hanger ) and nothing is fasing what im going through. This has even affected my sex life because of the aggrevation when im moving.... Any help would be appreciated... heres my recent mri..........

Really the only thing I would suggest in an effort to avoid/delay surgery, is increase your time on the Teeter. The more you "unflatten" T11-L2 the better. Best wishes! jd1963

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. The problem lies at the level of T11-L2 vertebral level with cord flattening due to disc protrusions. Hence physiotherapy should be aimed at lifting the compression at this level. Sometimes traction helps. If physiotherapy and traction is unable to lift the pressure then yes, you may need surgery. Please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
