[OT] Need Medical Translation
I *SO* miss Howard Berkowitz right now! ; I'm hoping there is maybe
someone else in the group that could help me translate the "findings" of my MRI. I recently had the MRI done to see if we could pinpoint the injury to my neck that I did 18 month ago. This is the "findings" and I have *NO* idea what they mean (and can't get in to see the doctor for him to interpret for quite some time). Examination of the C3-C4 level shows significant compromise of the right neural foramen due to hypertrophic bone arising from the uncinate process and also from the posterior elements. This constitutes significant right side foraminal stenosis at V3-C4. All this sounds quite scary and I would appreciate any help you could give me in translating the above to English! ; -- Hugs, CatNipped See all my masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped/ |

His was in his lower back. Yours is in your neck. If you google the key terms, you will learn more and find out that it might be able to be cured with minimally invasive surgery and who in Houston might be able to do it. Physical therapy will not take care of it. Good luck. Annie |

I'm glad to know it is "fixable" - now if I can just get them to schedule the procedure before Jan 1 when my deductible goes back to $1500! Hugs, CatNipped |

I have an appointment with an ortho guy for Monday - they're the same practice that did my shoulder bone reconstruction, so I know they're good. I'm just very, very nervous about somebody using a bone cutting saw that close to the nerves in my spine! Hugs, CatNipped |
