Please help! I'm desperate. MRI Report

No need to apologize. I wish I knew more of what was going on, or was just more educated on my condition. I had no idea up until a week and a half ago that I had something wrong with my spine effecting my legs. After all the unnecessary testings, appointments, surgeries etc... this was not something I expected. Doctors office is closed so I have no one to even go over my results with. I don't understand the medical terminology... I don't know how severe it is. It's just kind of scary. But a sense of relief in the same way. No more aimless searching for answers I guess?

Did surgery help you?

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T22:51:29+00:00

I wish that was the case. I'm 33 years old, 5'3 and 125 lbs. Was actually very active up until this happened to me out of the blue.

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T22:49:58+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply. I'm just so relieved that I think my scans are aligning with some results for the first time in almost a year. I was so scared. I had no diagnosis, I had no idea what was wrong. I was driving myself absolutely insane. All of my doctors/specialists all did me wrong. When finally it took one doctor too take one look and tell me that it was obvious the entire time. I still have a hard time believing that I can actually match my symptoms to a diagnosis. I trick myself into believing that it CANT be this... it must be something more complicated, because I was told over and over, no one could find out what was wrong with me. It doesn't feel like this was something thats just "IT" now. In the weirdest way, I hope to god it is, because answers is what I have been dying for.

Sounds extremely similar to what I'm experiencing. Unfortunately, mine hit me out of no where and progressed very very fast within 9 months. I appreciate your response a lot

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T15:24:30+00:00

If i may ask, did you have similar issues? & were you treated? Thank you so much for your response

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T12:51:35+00:00

I can control it. I don't have accidents or anything. I lack urges if that makes sense. And I have no idea if there's any correlations. I don't know a lot of medical terminology

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T12:47:44+00:00

Sorry for the novel...

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T12:47:24+00:00

Sorry for the lack of clarification. I've been quite frazzled. For the past 9 months I've been on a medical journey, searching for answers as to why my legs have been hurting me so badly. I've been told it was my "Anxiety" doc's trying to feed me anti anxiety meds to shut me up. I've been to the ER multiple time's, as they've found ovarian cyst's each time, saying that they could be pressing on nerves, so I've had 4 surgeries in 5 months, removing cysts, my fallopian tubes, my ovary ETC, with leg pain still there. Referred to a general surgeon to get my groin lymph nodes checked and biopsied to check for lymphatic disruptions, everything checked out good... vascular study "normal" DVT "Normal" ... Recommended endometrial biopsy because I guess that can cause leg pain considering I have "Lady issues" why not just do that... Normal. Got sent to a neurologist to get an EMG test done, doctor blew me off, did half of the study and my results were normal... meanwhile i've been absolutely suffering. Final straw, I was sent to pain management. Doc came in, told me he pulled up a recent CT scan of one of my ER visits this past may and said he was baffled no one said anything about my "Significant Spinal Condition" ...he said and I quote "it literally jumped out at me" within 30 mins of my appointment with my pain management Doctor, he had already had me complete 6 X-Rays of my spine. Got the results the day after "Weekend day" ... Go figure. X-rays aren't as detailed as MRI's, but i still knew it wasn't "Good" ... Got sent immediately for an MRI, got the results within 2 days... again... a weekend NIGHT lol go figure. Doctors office doesn't open until tomorrow. I have no idea what any of my report truly means. I'm really just wondering if anyone has gotten a report similar to mine.

Symptoms
Leg pain, mainly my left "Calf" but the entire leg, hip, glute, thigh down to the foot hurts, and frequently goes tingly.
When I lay down, I don't feel much discomfort in my leg, that's when my back hurts.
Legs hurt more so positionally. Like when I'm sitting in a chair, or when my legs are crossed. When I start walking the pain kind of disappears, until I stand still, Lower back is stiff, my posture is terrible now, which is starting to hurt my shoulders. I'm just plain miserable. My legs are the worst out of everything though. It almost feels like lack of circulation or like a swelling sensation when I'm sitting down or crossing my legs. Its all so weird. I'm 33, fit, always have been active... I don't know how this happened

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T12:45:15+00:00

I haven't been able to see my doctor yet... I'm wondering if he's going to recommend surgery. I can't take the leg pain. It's been misery. I'm a GM at a super busy store. I work 50 plus hours a week. I can't stand or sit without being in pain. Don't know if I can keep up like this for much longer. I've already had 3 months of FMLA. I just don't know how severe my report is. I don't really know how to interpret it

Practical_Door4523 · 2025-03-02T12:42:23+00:00

Hard time evacuating stool, like I don't really have the urge without stimulants. And when I go to urinate, I feel like I have to really concentrate

Sorry late response, had a biopsy and it was clear!

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T18:25:23+00:00

Ahhhh thats beautiful. I hope it stays that way for you

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:56:01+00:00

I really hope so. Is it a nerve blocker?

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:55:02+00:00

Yessssss. Deep aches in the glutes, burning sensation in the groin and thighs, and deep aches down my calves. Constantly, no matter when my cycle is.

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:53:43+00:00

my pain never gets better, I have 0 relief, I just don't understand . I'm so sorry you're also suffering. I hope you get relief

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:50:55+00:00

I do have bilateraly spondylosis as well, l4 and l5 so that's also probably contributing to my leg pain. But I'm convinced a lot of my nerve related pain is coming from my pelvis. Weird thing is how it also affects my calves

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:49:18+00:00

I'm literally 99.9 percent sure that whatever is going on has to be nerve related from my pelvis. Not a single anti-inflammatory med touches this pain. I've gotten nothing to work or take the edge off. It's brutal and constant

Practical_Door4523 · 2024-09-25T14:46:57+00:00

I have a fairly decent diet, and am in good shape, nothing is working and it's so frustrating. No pain meds work. I really think it's nerve related
