Anyone Know About CT Scans & MRIs?
On my CT scan there was this:
Impression: No no acute intra-cranial abnormality. Lucent focus in
the right occipital bone is most likely a venous lake. Comparison
with prior studies, if these could be made available, could prove
helpful in confirming stability.
The reason I want to know about this is because my pain is in the occipital region.
And with the MRI there is this:
FINDINGS:
Soft tissues: No edema or masses.
Bones: Normal alignment. Marrow signal appropriate for age.
Cord: No mass, signal abnormality, or syrinx.
Upper Thoracic: Normal
C1-2: Normal
C2-3: Disk desiccation. No central canal or foraminal stenosis.
C3-4: Disk desiccation. No central canal or foraminal stenosis.
C4-5: Disk desiccation. Minimal central disk protrusion partially
effacing the ventral thecal sac. No foraminal stenosis. No
significant central canal stenosis.
C5-6: Disk desiccation. Minimal disk bulge. No significant
central canal or foraminal stenosis.
C6-7: Normal
C7-T1: Normal
Additional Comments: Incidental right perineural cyst at T1-T2.
I am especially concerned about the perineural cyst at T1-T2. From what I have read this can cause headaches. My PCP doesn't think any of these finding can cause symptoms. Hello? I am having symptoms. I have been for 2 weeks. Is it just a coincidence that I have them? She gave me a referral to a pain clinic. I told her I didn't think PT was doing me any good. I also asked her if I could see a neurologist.

I am getting my Lumbar spine results on Tuesday which from he was talking about on the phone aren't good. All this time I thought it was my hip and it turns out it is coming fom my spine. I just want to cut off my right leg - it hurts so bad and I have good pain meds and they dont touch the pain
I'm having an MRI on Monday morning too. I had a CT scan a couple of weeks ago that showed nothing. I'm anxious to see the results from the MRI.
I have had acute back pain (across my bra strap area) since I returned home from the hospital after my surgery in September. The pain has been continuous for 6 months now. I've had a cortisone shot that gave me no relief. I just want some answers and relief too. Hope you get the same soon.
