X-RAY LS SPINE RESULT

[smocri]

SIR, PLEASE SUGGEST ME WAT TO DO WITH MY CASE...

I am 22 male. Wen i started body buildin at the age of 19, i came to have slight back pain. So afterwards i stopped gym as per doctors suggestion. Last wwek i had to undergo a pre-employment medical test and as a part of it many examinations wer conducted.
All wer ok except my LS SPINE x-RAY(AP & LATERAL VIEWS)

The impressions are:
1. Transitional vertebra at L5 level with sacralization of L5 vertebra. Reduction in L5-S1 disc space - probably rudimentary L5-S1 intervertibral disc.
2. Mild scoliosis of lumbar spine with convexity towards right side - ? positional. Apex of scoliosis at L2 vertebral level.
3. Radiographs of the lumbar spine show no other obvious abnormality.

Sir, please tell me if this happened in midst of my weight training or its by birth?
Can i continue gym for biceps only ?
What should i do next ?

I cannot tell you what to do, but most of the time scoliosis is something that can appear at birth or develop over time.  Im not sure that your body building caused this, but it can contribute to the pain.  I used to see a chiropractor for my scoliosis.  It seemed to help and after only a few month, my back was on track to becoming straight again.  However, chiropractor treatments can be expensive over time.  You might want to speak to your doctor and see what he/she recommends, or you could speak to a chiropractor.  Only your doctor can tell you when it will be safe to resume training because they need to check you out physically.  I would not accept advice from anyone else who wants to give you a time period of when you can resume training if they have not physically examined you.  Hope this helped and good luck.

By birth. The sacralization of L5 vertebra is a common congenital anomaly.

You might want to see a Doctor occasionally to monitor your mild scoliosis.
