What Does It Mean To Have Thinning In Lumbar As Shown On X Ray?
I had an x ray done and it said I have thinning in my lumbar especially on L4-5 and I think L3-4 and L5-S1 or something like that. What exactly does that mean? and what are the best ways to treat it? I m going to a doctor Wednesday but I m kind of nervous about what they will say. I am only 21 years old.

Thinning of vertebra may be loss in height of vertebra or more of translucency as compared to normal bone texture on x ray. wonder what your radiologist really implies. It is better to wait till your consulting doctor sees xray himself.It is no use pondering before that.Unfortunately this website doesn't allow posting of xray, or other reports scans ,otherwise things could be easier for us to give opinions on themYou can however, upload your xray after scanning and send me to my e mail suniliskumar5@gmail.com
