CT Scan Advised For Back Pain Along With Bruise In Spine Which Is Flaring

I have been having back pains on the lumbar part of my spine but I have noticed a bruise running along this part of my spine and it hasn't gone away and flares up every week is this a bad thing ? I have got a MRI on my back but the doctors say I have to go for a ct scan now but they won't tell me what is wrong should I be concerned ?

Hi and thank you so much for this query.

I am so sorry to hear about this. Well, because you are sick it is justifiable to be concerned. However, you should exercise some patience so that the doctors ca clearly identify the problem before communicating to yo. It will not settle right to present non conclusive findings to you. I hope the results get discussed with you sooner than later.

I hope this addresses your query fully. Feel free to ask for clarifications and more information if need be. I wish you well. Thanks for utilizing our services, we very much appreciate it.
