Back pain

by mich886, Feb 15, 2008 02:03PM
The past week I have been unable to stand for more than a couple of minutes, sit, or even dry. Laying down causes pain as well. I had a MRI in 06 which showed herniations but have not had any issues since recently.

I had another mri this week, letting me know the following:
L1-L2: Schmorl's node formation anterior osteophytes are seen.
T12-L1: disc degeneration. Disc bulging & endplate osteophyte formation of Schmorl's node. A left sided disc herniation/osteophyte complex. Flattening of the anterolateral aspect of the thecal sac.
T11-T12: disc space narrowing is seen with degeneration & Schmorl's node formation.  A right sided disc herniation. Deformity of the cord is senn -consistent with cord impingement.
T10-T11 Degenration is seen a Schmorl's node formation.
A hemangioma is noted with the body of L5

Can this cause the pain I have having? The hemangioma is something new noted in this report than the previous, is this something to be concerned about?
What can I do in order to prevent this happening again?
