Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 I wrote in with the results of my MRI a few weeks ago and didn't get a response. If I break it down can someone tell me what it may mean or if anyone has dealt with this before. Impressions: 1 Mild degenerative changes in both hips-I'm assuming this means arthritis? 2 Probable simple bone cyst seen involving the left femoral neck as discussed above. Is the latter something to be concerned with? Does a cyst mean cancer, could it become, or should it be written off and it's something that just happens? TIA, Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Jacki; I just had a tumor removed from c-spine, it was not cancer. They called mine a tumor from the start? I was told most tumor/cysts on spine are nueroblastoma and are benign. I don't know about the hip? Degenerative in spine usually means wearing away or disintegration on disks. Wish I could help more.

Guest guest Posted May 15, 2007 Report Share Posted May 15, 2007 Hey folks I think we have discussed this somewhere before as we are not doctors. We are a support group and provide support to one another not medical advice if one of us were to give the other the wrong advice about a pending problem it could be disastrous for the one getting the advice? Let's give each other support that's what we do and who we are. Thanks Mark fro Boston ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2007 Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 You really need to ask your Doctor to break it down for you - I as a former Nurse could not really explain it well to you - if I could I would - but Doctors speak a very different language.
