in reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5737
Dr. Corenman,
I did work with another radiologist (remote) on my issues and the MRIs.
The enhancement of the paravertebral vessels in particular at T5 (seen on Water:SAG T2 IDEAL, SAG T2, Post Contrast images) he indicates to be flow artifacts.
He said the thickness of enhancement (and thru the foramen) wasn’t something he’d seen before (It’s about 1 inch thick across the vertebrae) but did not believe it to be pathology nor a causative factor.
I hope I can keep working hard to resolve this on my own. If not, maybe a chiropractor will have an answer. I’m not ready for that yet since my MRIs at the T4/T5 level seem to not explain the stabbing pain and radiation down my spine.Thank you again for this website and your kind advice.
in reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5688Dear Dr. Corenman,
I never heard back from Dr. Kaiser’s office, so it looks like he’s not interested in doing 2nd reads on an MRI. That’s fine, I will keep plugging away and trying to resolve this myself. Hopefully by August so I can get back into grad school.
I appreciate your kind and generous time and the suggestions you have given.
Thanks so much for everything.in reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5680Just contacted Dr. Kaiser’s office in Marin. She’s going to give him the message and see what he says about doing a read of my MRIs. I don’t live very far from his practice so hopefully I can have him take a look.
Thank you Dr. Corenmanin reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5677Dear Dr. Corenman,
I may be taking you up on your offer of sending in my images for a glance over by you. I need an expert set of eyes to tell me if there is a reason seen in the images that my spine hurts. If nothing more than to tell me I need another radiologist opinion …
or that there is absolutely no reason seen in the MRIs.Thank you.
in reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5674Doctor, thank you. Very kind and generous.
I appreciate everything.in reply to: Progressive thoracic spine pain 10 months #5662Thank you doctor. I may end up doing that. I will contact your office, hopefully can pay by credit card. I don’t feel that whatever going on is life threatening but it can be life changing if not resolved. I am very pain tolerant. Im not dying with pain but it can wake me up.
Hopefully my glowing t5 vessels are just very active and it’s not anything that should cause pain. :)
hope to have this all resolved way before august.
Thank you for what you do. -
