Yes, I had a MRI. When I went in for consult after MRI, he told me it was the worst spinal epidural lipomatosis he had seen. Not sure how many he has seen prior to me. He was very concentrated on my weight, wanted me to see endocrinologist for hormone testing. When I contacted endocrinologist, they would not see me for what he had ordered. I’m not opposed to losing weight, I realize this will help many things. I’m just in so much pain with standing, walking and sitting. I’m most comfortable lying on my left side to relieve pressure. After spine dr consulted with my MD, he agreed to do a steroid shot in my back, reluctantly. His office told me the shot could make my condition worse. I’m unsure of what to do!
