-block vertebra L1,L2
-L3 is larger than normal

These are MRI results
-Sacrum is hypoplastic

-Syrinx is noted
-Degenerative disc disease
-Lumbar nerve damage
-Osteoarthritis in my back,Right knee,Left foot

Angelico this is WAY overdue and I didn't know you (and you probably won't get this) but I hate to see unanswered threads, especially one like yours.

It's as if no one cares , but I'm sure they do. Probably, this sub-forum is just less frequented. I care, and I don't even know you by name! But I know you as a suffering human being,

Be well, and write again - maybe the same post, updated and put on another forum. Sometimes we have to shout to be heard but it's just because there's so much other noise - not because no one is interested!

Best,

Amanda

For that matter just look - well over a thousand views to your thread! That's extraordinary. Guess no one wanted to take the initiative! :)

I agree, I am sure people do care, we're all in the same boat. But some of us are in deeper water and when I see a post like that, I cringe and wish I could help but don't have the knowledge or experience. I too, hate to see unanswered posts.

I hope Angelicoo got the help she needed.
