Could you tell me what my MRI results are saying.
1. New focal thickening of the plantar tendon with adjacent edema. This may be due to direct trauma or plantar faciitis.
2. New thickening and increased signal of the tibial nerve with surrounding fluid. This is supicious for trauma or inflammation.
3. New thickening and increased T1 signal in the posterior tibial tendon consistent with tendinitis.
4. Edema of the lateral forefoot without evidence of underlying bony injury.
I have neck fusions c4-5, 5-6, and 6-7. Could ankle foot problems be caused from the spine. I had a MRI a few years ago and it said c4-5 was pressing ion the thecal sac on the right.
It seems that the outer side of my foot is sometimes, painful, tinglely or numb.
Sometimes I wake up at night and my foot is asleep but it almost feels more like it is paralyzed. I also have pain when I flex my ankle towards my head in the area where the ankle and leg meet. My little toe goes underneath the two beside it when I flex my toes upward.
I had a stress fracture in my 5th metatarsal 2 years ago, but it healed.
Can you help?
