Chronic back pain in 41 yr old female
by scoobyww, Mar 30, 2006 12:00AM
10 years ago, I had an ascetableoplasty to my left hip, which now needs to be replaced with a prosthetic hip; 18 months ago I had a Birmingham Hip put in my right hip, which has now failed and is about to be replaced - both due to OA. Following severe pain in back, MRI scan results received yesterday say " at L4/5 a combination of apophyseal joint OA with a broad based disc herniation is causing bilateral recess stenosis and a right sided foraminal stenosis." Can anyone explain this in clear English - and what is my long term prognosis? I am female and 41 years old! Thanks.
