Hi All
I am new to the board and would appreciate if someone can put in plain talk the results of my CT Myelogram. I went to the Dr. and got the results. He is talking about surgery, and it freaks me out as I have already had several surgeries on my neck (fusion and plates C-3 thru C-7). I have had injections several times with little results. Anyone who has experience and personal opinion would be appreciated. He also mentioned that at L2-3, the bone on bone is causing them to "Bleed"?? I have never heard of this. The results are (in short);
L2-3 Loss of disc height and end plate osteophytosis. Hypertrophic changes of the facets. Disc loss height resulting in increased scoliosis. Overall, there is severe spinal stenosis and severe bilateral neural forminal narrowing.
L3-4 2-3 mm disc bulge. Facet hypertrophy. Moderate central spinal canal stenosis and moderate to severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
L4-5 Facet hypertrophy. 3mm disc bulge. Mild central spinal canal stenosis and moderate bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
L5-S1 Intervertebral disc height loss and facet hypertrophy. Severe bilateral neural foraminal narrowing.
Any help explaining would really be appreciated
