Looking at my example, I have a herniation that does not look so bad on MRI, but I have pain that I would not classify as pain, but more as teaser shocks. The nerve roots are slightly moving in the spinal canal/neural sac and can be positioned differently from person to person, I would guess. Therefore, my herniation is not giving me pain but shocks because I think it hits the nerves that are positioned more on the front of the spinal canal. Alternatively, the MRI doesn't show my herniation properly because I had the MRI when everything returned to normal. I experience these shocks every 1-2 months, and my last MRI was done just after I fully recovered from the last episode. When I have these shocks, I’m on strong medications, lying in bed for a week, and then I have a massive body shift three weeks later. All the muscles around my waist (on the left side of my body) are very stiff. After a week, I start a series of exercises and hang on the bar, and the condition goes away after another 3-5 weeks. When I was fully recovered, I had the MRI, so I guess it doesn't show the compressed neural sac. If the MRI was done during the episode when I have those shocks, it would probably show the compression and bigger herniation. Is that correct?

I have good health insurance through work, but its no use if doctors cant find what i have. I've been suffering with low back pain and bilateral sciatica for close to 11 years now. It bad, it has completely destroyed my life. I've had tons of Mri scans of the Lumbar back and nothing shows up. I've even been told, " Congratulations man, you don't have anything". I went to the best surgeon in my city of Bakersfield California and he couldn't find anything. I feel as if my spine is unstable, sometimes ive hurted just tying my shoe. I wish i had a good Spine doctor who could take a closer look at my case, there's something they've missed in my MRi scans, my pain started in May of 2010 lifting a bag of dog food at a grocery store. My pain is not all in my head, theres a reason.

4 days ago i went to the Er. The doctor thinks im suffering from Si joint pain. He saw ive had multiple mris over the years and they show nothing on my lumbar spine. Will be getting mri in my sacrum. Its really painful 😞. I started doing at hope therapy exercises for si joint and feel somewhat relief for a moment. Its better but not entirely

@@indigenousamerican3148 Has any of the physicians/radiologists ruled out tethered cord, spinal instability, etc?

[@indigenousamerican3148]

@@paradigm_HealthCare no, today i saw a new doctor and she ordered new Mri of the lumbar and thoracic spine. I also had a few x rays done, and it came out normal according to the copy of the report i was given. This year i want to get to the bottom of what i have. In May i go 11 years and still no diagnoses, which is ridiculous. Ive seen 4 spinal surgeons and none have been able to diagnosed me. This time i will also ask for steroid injection into the Si joint, i wanna make sure my pain is coming from there, i had injections done on l4-L5 and didnt do a thing.

[@paradigm_HealthCare]

@@indigenousamerican3148 Maybe the MRI of the Lumbar and Thoracic Spine clear up things. But you should definitely ask your physician/radiologist to have a hard look at your images and rule out tethered cord and spinal instability issues before moving on to other treatment options.

[@indigenousamerican3148]

@@paradigm_HealthCare i will ask my doctor to take a look at that, spinal instability may i do have some in my lower back. I feel my low back grinding and popping daily. It was all because of an injury in 2010 and haven't been the same since. I dont know whats gonna be of me. I dont think i can live like this another 10 years :(

Sir.. You deserve every bit off appreciation. Wonderfully explained

[@user-ek1to4gq3h]

Thanks, explained it better then any doctor could even the best communicator. I find a huge gap in the communication making me understand between doctors, luckily one was good enough with that but still hard to visualise it.

[@user-bj1gl5ng5t]

The presentation was great. I have studied a lot . Thanks.

[@samahalshelkamy3337]

Dear Prof it has been a great work I wish to send you my CT and Mri irrgently to give me your advice about diagnosis and treatment

[@ajproart2]

Would you have a vertebral body image of a bone marrow injury, indicating a possible metastasis? Thank you for your attention.

My God! Somebody get this man a Siemens Vida. Some of these images look like 1970's programming shown on a small black and white tv with a busted antenna.
