Can a spinal tumor be misdiagnosed as a luggage of herniated or compressed discs?
My MRI from April says: "L5/S1 degenerative changes with centralized disc herniation deforming the anterior margin of the thecal sac."
I don't even know what a thecal sac is! I DO know that I have hindmost pain that prevents me from getting any kind of restful sleep. I don't have sciatic problems. When I bring up my herniated disc issues, culture immediately assume I have sciatica and start telling me just about their sciatic pain. I was wondering if there's anyone else out there beside similar back problems who can shed some light on this. Did you have surgery? Do you hold flare ups in between periods of well-being?
I felt great adjectives summer but I've been feeling pretty lousy since September. Thanks!
Answers: MRI is the gold-standard for diagnosing spinal tumors. If your MRI report doesn't mention tumors, that means that the enormously best test that medicine has for detecting spinal tumors shows that you don't own any.
The only thing better than the MRI for finding spinal tumors is an autopsy, a procedure that I don't recommend that you undergo at this time.
The thecal sac is the membrane that surrounds the spinal cord. The spinal cord ends prior to the L5/S1 stratum so that this level, the thecal sac contains various nerves that will exit the spine at the levels of L5/S1, S1/S2, S2/S3 and so on. The MRI suggests that the crucial disk herniation may be pushing on these nerves - could cause pain in the rear legs that radiates to other parts of the lower body; a condition commonly called sciatica.
Yes. I had throbbing, a constant ache in my lower back, and distress in my hip joints that would wake me at hours of darkness, but would go away when I rolled over. That went on for about 5 years. One AM I woke up, rolled over and stretched, and something snapped so low contained by my spine, I didn't know anything was movable that far down. And I was pain free for 10 months. Then one AM I woke up incompetent to move, the pain was so bad. I be literally immobilized for 9 months, I even had to learn to get up up and sit up in order to turn over in bed, in the past they finally decided there might be something really wrong, and did an MRI. I had a synovial cyst on the inside of my spine, as generous as a plum, and it was pressing on nerve roots. They did surgery less than a week after that. By that time, there had been so much effrontery damage done that it took 7 years for the pain to completely go away, but it be bearable, nonetheless. I was only on pain pills for 2 months after the surgery. Before the surgery, they'd refuse to give me anything, and I survived on Naproxin. The synovium is the membrane covering the bones. For what it is worth, I have had a herniated disc for various years (nearly 50)L.5, S.1. With no disc left. Is bone n bone with spurring in an attempt to fuse the shared. During that time I have had symptoms 3 times. Each time I visited a chiropractor and afterwards resumed my normal activities. I remain symptom free at this time but am made aware of the problem if I stand at the sink for any amount of time. Or use a vacuum cleaner Is the bending that makes me awae of the condition.

I found this to be the best site to comprehend disc problems and stern problems. Over the age of 30 every Human will have some form of Degeneration of the spine, its part and parcel of the normal aging process. The discs are resembling jelly, so if you take two dinner plates, turn one upside down, stick some dessert jelly on top and then the other dinner plate then press thorny what happens? The jelly will squish and the plates get closer together. The plates are your vertebra and the jelly your disc. As we age the discs dehydrate, so the jelly goes from person soft to hard and that is normal. However things run wrong when we squish the disc. The hard outer ring splits and leaves the lovely jelly material out. That material is significantly inflammatory! So when you jump, the vertebra compress, jelly squishes, you go high and later gravity brings you doen with a Bang and jelly squishes even more pouring out into nice things like nerve roots. When the jelly hits the fortitude root, do not worry you will know! I do not have Sciatic probelms either, when it go squish, I loose everything below the waist, down I go as the legs buckle and last time I was out for the count for 3 hours. Came too near legs and bowel and bladder functions. Not all disc problems cause back anguish and not all degenerative changes cause rear legs pain!
What you need to do is first, well how is the bed matress, current old? Renew it. Then get a nice egg crate matress cover to put on top and then you will fine sleeping pretty obedient. Be aware that you have this small herniation and try NOT to damage it further, so learn how to pull, sit and about Posture.
