So one of the many symptoms I experience is really bad back pain. As if things are always popping and clicking in and out of place. My ribs move a lot (not just my floating ribs). And are always so sore to touch.
There is one spot on my back, about where my lumbar and thoracic vertabraes meet, more on the left side but close to the spine which hurts the most.
I get lots of weird sensations; from burning, to itching, to pinching, to stabbing.
Anyway X-rays showed nothing. I had an mri done on thoracic and lumbar spines without contrast. The report stated some dengue ration btw t-12 and T-11. But nothing else.
The thing is I have copies of my mri....(have not been back to the specialist, or my LLMD yet).
On my mri outside of the vertabrae (it appears) is a large, dense, cloudy, almost looks like it is swirling white spot.
It is large, it covers the entire body of L-1 or T-12 can't really tell.
The axial view stops short of where this large white blob is. And the saggital view seems to show that it is outside the vertabrae not in it.
My regular doctor sent me a letter saying my thoracic mri was normal, but no mention of the lumbar mri.
I have pictures, but I don't know how to post it. But if anyone has more experience in this and could shed some light by seeing an image I'd be happy to send it to you.
Thanks so much everyone!! I'm quite concerned about this...
I'm leaning more to cyst via infection, rather then malignant tumor. But would really love some help and advice here.
Again thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
