Thank you for your reply Dr Corenman. I have had EMG/NVO test done a few years ago and were fine I was told.
These symptoms started a few weeks after a whiplash injury 11 years ago.
I would be very grateful if you would take a look at my MRI CD scan images which I will forward to you later, once I learn how to compress.

in reply to: spina bifida occulta mistaken for annular tear #10375Thank you very much for taking the time to reply.
I was wondering if you would please take a look at my Mri scan which is on cd if I forward it to you?
I suffer badly with low back,buttock and coccyx pain and have constant pins and needles in my feet and get vibrating and numbness feeling inside my legs and buttocks.
I was told by the hospital consultant that no abnormalities were found on my mri scan. I questioned my GP about this and she said that an annular tear was found L4-5 and degenerative disks L3-4 and L4-5 but insisted that these would not cause the pins and needles and numbness symptoms that I feel and would not cause much pain if any.
I am suffering just sitting typing this, my buttocks feel numb and my coccyx is very painful and my legs are feeling numb inside.
Physiotherapy does not relieve the symptoms.
I do a lot of walking and stretching exercises even though I am in pain doing these.
I would be grateful for any advice that you can give me.

I was told my recent MRI scan showed annular tear L4-5 anteriorly (mainly on the left side.I was told though many years ago after an X-ray that I have spina bifida occulta between L4-5, it has confused me being told I have an annular tear where I was previously told it is spina bifida occulta.
