What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?

Hi, first off, I have PPS however in the past two months I have one side (affected Polio side) burning, stinging and pulling pain. Not relieved with Percocets (10-325). It is increasingly debilitating. It seems Neurological. My pain doctor put me on sliding doses of Prednisone over 10 days ago. No decrease in this pain.
Today, my Rehab. Doctor is giving me Lyrica 75mg, twice a day. I'm to have an MRI next week.
Any suggestions as to possible diagnosis?
Thanks, Linda

PPS leads to muscle atrophy and degeneration with resultant limd deformities.
sine there is abnormal posture in PPS, there is early degeneration of other joints of body as well. since you have not out line which specific MRI has your doctor advised, i assume he as advised MRI for LS spine in which i guess you might have some intervertebral disc bulges.
