@jenn1969 Welcome to Connect. I can appreciate that you are waiting for answers on imaging your spine, but I’m wondering why they are not imaging the lumbar spine also to get a full spine picture since you are having lumbar back pain? I had cervical spinal cord compression and they did image my entire spine. I had a cervical fusion at C5 C6 several years ago.

@jenniferhunter Hello!
I already had a lower lumbar MRI last month, but he wasn’t overly concerned about anything on it needing surgical intervention. He thinks it could be referred pain from cervical or thoracic. Now, has me worried about ruling out MS.

Right before my "first" lumbar surgery, the surgeon ended up doing MRIs on my cervical and thoracic spine areas.
