Suggest Treatment For Fluid Collection In Spine
Hi Doctor.......I just got the written report of my MRI of the Lumbar Spine (with and without Contrast). It tells me that Approx. 4 CM CC Fluid-like Collection within the Post surgical Bed at the Level of L5 in the Posterior Soft Tissues just posterior to the Spinal Canal demonstrating a degree of enhancement, which may represent a Post-Operative Seroma or possibly Abscess given Rim Enhancement. Can you explain this to me and what it might mean and is it something I should be concerned about. Thank-you so much for your time and patience !!

I wish you meet the surgeon if you have got operated or meet a spine specialist for the same. if you are having pain or discomfort you can take a visit to an orthopedic Surgeon for the same. he might help you with some medicine and guide you to a physical therapist for strengthening exercises on a latter idea. I hope I have answered your query.
