Guest guest Posted July 21, 2005 Report Share Posted July 21, 2005 , symptoms should be treated and not tests. You may need a different med like Armour http://www.armourthyroid.com You might want to read some books and maybe look for a doc who cares how you feel. http://www.geocities.com/thyroide for more info.

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2009 Report Share Posted July 14, 2009 . I got the same problem you have..wink wink..so shoot both of us.nothing to be embaressed about..we all f up sometimes..

The brain stem and and cerebellum do not demonstrate any significant abnormalities. There are at least two lesions of high T2 signal within the posterior nasopharynx midline consistent with Thornwaldt cysts. > > C2, C3, and C4 are normal > > C4-C5- Bilateral uncoarthrosis is present with accompanying disc bulging. There is complete attenuation of the anterior subarachnoid space and mild effacement of the spinal cord. There is mild to moderate narrowing of the right neural foramina. There is no significant narrowing seen on the left. > > C5-C6- There is a small central disc protrusion present with attenuation of the anterior subaracanoid space. There is no central cord compression. The neural foramina are widely patent. > > C6-C7- There has been a prior fusion. There is posterior convexity to the bone at the level of the fusion with attenuation of the anterior subarachnoid space but no cord compression. > > > C7-T1- Broad-based disc extrusion is present at this level extending partially posterior to the T1 vertebral body. There is also bilateral uncoarthrosis, right more than left. There is mild attenuation of the anterior subarachnoid space but no cord compression. There is no significant left-sided neural foraminal stenosis. Mild right-sided neural foraminal stenosis is present. > > Multilevel spondylitic changes as described above. Mild effacement of the anterior spinal cord is present at C4-C5 due to uncovertebral hypertrophy and disc bulging. Multlevel right-sided neural foraminal narrowing is also present. > > Thornwald cysts within the posterior nasopharynx. > > > Upper Back > > > * C7-T1- Diffuse annular bulging, mild endplate spondylosis, mild ventral thecal sac contour deformity without cord impingement or compressive foraminal narrowing > > T1-2, T2-3, and T3-4- minimal facet arthrosis > > * T4-5 Minor annular bulging and endplate spondylosis. Moderate bilateral facet arthrosis with a low signal intensity structure in the posterior midline spinal canal potentially representing focally prominent facet-ligamentous complex spur, intruding into the spinal canal with a mild deformity of the posterior thecal sac contour, without direct cord impingement or significant overall canal stenosis, > > T5-6 and T6-7- Minimal annular bulging, endplate spondylosis and facet arthrosis without neural impingement. > > T7-8 Mild disc space narrowing with annular bulging and endplate spondylosis with right paracentral disc and spur complex which contacts and very minimally deforms the right ventral cord contour. Thecal sac posterior to the spinal cord remains capacious without overall central canal stenosis. There is no substantial facet arthrosis or intervertebral neural foraninal narrowing. > > T8-9 Mild circumferential annular bulging and endplate spondylosis with a shallow posterior central disc and spur complex which results in minimal flattening of the ventral cord contour, without overall central canal stenosis. > > T9-10 Mild disc space narrowing with predominantly ventral bulging and endplate spondylosis with mild facet arthrosis, without neural impingement. > > T10-11- Minimal ventral bulging and endplate spondylosis with mild to moderate facet arthrosis, without neural impingement. > > > T11-12 and T12-L1- Bilateral facet arthrosis, without additional significant abnormality, allowing for suspected minimal artifact propagating across the thoracic spinal cord, no definite thoracic intramedullary cord pathology is seen. Evident on the sagittal loclizing sequence of the cervical spine is loss of the normal cervical lordosis with either postsurgical or congenital fusion at C6-7. This could be further evaluated with cervical spine MRI if clinically indicated. There is potential borderline cerebellar tonsillar ectopia. > (Also known as Chiari) > http://www.asap. org/chiari- malformation. html > > Sagittal sequences disclose adequate alignment of thoracic vertebral bodies. There are mild multilevel discogenic endplate changes most pronounce at T8-9 and T9-10 where there is mild alteration of anterior endplate signal intensity with minimal fatty infiltration as well as mild wedge deformities ot the T8 and T9 vertebrae. Mild thoracic scolosis convex to the left. > > Multilevel thoracic degenerative disc disease and spondylosis is present as outline dequentially above, with disc bulges and or shallow protrusions in conjunction with endplate spondylosis and varying degrees of facet arthrosis noted to result in mild flattening of the ventral cord contour at the T7-8 and T8-9. Presumed posterior midline facet/ligamentous complex hypertrophy at T4-5. > > Lower back > Mild lumbar scoliosis > L1-2 Minimal ventral endplate spondylosis > Suspected mild facet arthrosis primarily on the left at T 11-12 without the evidence of neural impingement. > L2-3 Minimal ventral annular bulging and endplate spondylosis > L3-4 Reduced disc hydration, minor annular bulging, shallow noncompressive right lateral disc protusion > L4-5 Reduced disc hydration, mild circumferential annular bulging with curvilinear T2 signal hyperintensity along the right posterolateral disc margin compatible with a small annular tear. Minimal endplate spondylosis and mild facet arthrosis. Very mild bilateral foraminal comprimise > L5-S1-Smoothly marginated rounded water signal intensity structure measuring approximately 2 cm in diameter situated in the right hemipelvis, most compatible with a small physiologic adnexal cyst. > > Mild multilevel noncompressive lumbar degenerative disc disease and spondylosis as present as outlined sequentially above, with mild lumbar levoscoliosis. Shallow noncompressive right lateral disc protusion is noted at L3-4, and there is an annular tear along the right posterolateral L4-5 disc margin. Central canal diameter remains capacious and there is no evidence of lateral recess stenosis or compressive intervertebral neural foraminal narrowing. > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
