Guest guest Posted October 4, 2006 Report Posted October 4, 2006 I went to my Dr. yesterday to find out the results of the MRI. Neither one of us liked it. At L1/2, L23, and L3/4 I have pinched nerves. L2/3 has a broad based bulge without herniation. The right neural foramina is severely stenotic secondary to significant hypertrophy of the facet. There is severe right worse than left facet arthropathy. At L3/4, L4/5, L5/S1 have minimal to mild bulges also. Now I don't understand some of this but I certainly know now why I am in such pain. To top it all off, I woke up yesterday morning and my left shoulder felt like it was about to lock on me. To move the arm it is painful because it pulls the muscles around the shoulder and upper arm. This arm locked on me about 10 or 12 years ago and an orthopedic had to give me a shot of prednisone. My Dr teased me and said, " you do have arthritis " . I really like him he's a good Dr. Joyce from Texas Quote
