hi all, new to this forum, and im glad i found it.
i have a question for people who might understand what all this means,
i have a report back from a discagram which reaRAB,
with the patients consent, under fluoroscopic guidance, injection of the degenerative L4/5 and L5/S1 disc was performed.
L5/S1 1ml of contrast injected. pain severity 7-8/10 and almost similar (7-8/10) to the usual pain.
L45 1ml of contrast injected. no significant change in the pain following the L5/S1 disc injection.
L3/4 attempted injection of the L3/4 disc as a control was performed. the needle was positioned at the margin of the disc, however, it was extremely painful to penetrate annulus and the injection had to be abandoned.
CONCLUSION concorant pain at L5/S1. injection of the L4/5 disc was not conclusive and no control could be obtained. suggest inclusion of the L4/5 disc if surgery is considered.
now what does all that mean.
any help would be nice
