I have been diagnosed with degenerative disc disease for many years. Lately the pain has become unbearable. I had an mri done and here were the findings.
Around 10 mm lesion in the siperior aspect of l4 there is lytic change in the superior endplate and surrounded by a small amount of edema. They said a small metatastic lesion is a consideration. This was not present on a mri from 12 months ago. I have gone for a ct but no results yet
there is significant degenerative change at l5.
I aqm having continual pain during the day. Numbness in my left foot and pain down my left leg. I cannot get the doctor to move on this and am needing some relief as I am obviously concerned about possible cancer. I would appreciate suggestions from anyone and everyone. Many thanks
