Hello,
Kathleen here. I am new to this site. I searched for a health forum in hopes to receive some clarity of recent tests. I have several illnesses, diseases, and I'm in severe pain. ALL THE TIME!
My doctors has been running tests to try to find relief. I am an RN, not currently working due to illness, have filed for SSD.
On the CT of the Pelvis was ordered to rule out kidney stones by the Urologist, has a few items I would like clarified, if anyone here knows about it.
One is, the report states "A nonunited fracture is seen involving the right LL3 transverse process" (I have Osteoporosis of the left hip and L1 to L4 according to the bone density report.)
The report also states that I have "Somewhat prominent extra renal pelvises are seen bilaterally." How abdormal is that?
I have an appointment with the Urologist, who is new to me, in 7 days and will ask him these questions, but being an RN, and in much pain, I'm curious as to how serious this fracture is and does having the extra renal pelvises have anything to do with the "neurogenic bladder" I have? I also have MS, relapsing/remitting. And have been diagnosed with Fibromalgia, osteoarthritis, 3 or 4 buldging disks in the Lumbar area, and a few other things. This chronic pain, which i have had for many years. I am 57 years old and the last time I remember having no pain, was when I was about 12 years old. I also have scoliosis.
Soooooooo any help out there?????
