Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Does This MRI Test Result For Back Pain Indicate?
My daughter is 19 yrs old and was in an accident 1 year ago. She still has back pain and a recent MRI shows L4-5 disc bulging with central disc herniation indenting the thecal sac, and also has a left facet effusion. How can we fix this and what type of doctor should we see next?
If I were your daughter's treating physician I would like to go for further scanning using xray and CT scan modalities to rule out verterbral fractures.
I would recommend you consult an orthopedic specialist for further imaging and treatment accordingly.
I hope this answers your query.Please feel free to contact HCM again if you have any concerns. Wishing you good health.
