Looking for feedback on mri images of my lumbar spine

Posted by jezzricho @jezzricho, May 4 3:30am

Hi all 👋 just wanting some feedback on my MRI i just had on my lumbar spine. Dr booked in to discuss but not for another week so just trying to get feedback from ppl with experience in mri images and what to expect going forward.
Im 37 with lower back pain for a few years now. Gets worse by the day and im at a point where i cannot run, play sports and work my business efficiently (im in the building industry)

@jezzricho - Well, I understand your interest in getting input on your MRI - but w/o a radiologist report or neurosurgeon opinion, it will be very speculative to render any opinions. Best of luck to you! I can say I have seen worse films…

@jezzricho I was looking for some videos explaining some issues in the lumbar spine that explain what you are looking at. This one is easier to understand. It explains a disc herniation. You'll still need to wait for a radiology report and interpretation from your specialist of course for your own imaging.
