Overwhelmed
Our family doctor requested the MRI diagnosis reports from Shriners. We had the test Monday April 12th and still have not heard from the hospital or doctor. I've called for 2 days now and left phone #'s where I could be reached wanting to know if they've found out anything yet. They called and left a message on the answering machine stating the doctor had not looked at the results yet. The case worker said that it showed she had a minor dislocation of a disc.
I got a copy of the MRI diagnosis report from my family doctor but it doesn't make sense to me. They did a MRI of her lower back wanting a closer look at 2 disc that they said looked herniated. The report findings say 32 degree levoscoliotic curve of the lumbar spine with a 23 degree dextroscoliotic curve of the dorsal spine. There is a 63 degree dorsal kyphosis. There is a Grade II spondylolisthesis with L5 anterior and S1 by about 1.5cm. Probable neural large defect at this level(L5)
The x-ray said there was curvature of 33 thoracic and 41 lumbar. Is that a totally diferent reading than the 32 and 23 listed on the MRI?
I'm sorry I'm such a pest bothering you all with these questions. BUT this doctor spent 15 minutes with us and hasn't told us anything. Hes not concerned about it BUT I AM.
I see her everyday and I see the drastic change it is making rapidly. Still waiting for an appt. with the Children's Hospital for our second opinion. If you understand any of the Greek from the MRI report I'd appreciate some insight please. Thank you.
