Ask Your Doctor Posted: 09-16-06 23:32pm
The person who made that diagnosis must be
the one to explain don´t you think?
Unfortunately we, as lay-persons, often do
not understand a word the doctors say but
it sounds impressive.
In laymens terms it means that there is an
intervertebral disk herniation (disk
buldge) in you upper thoracic spine (upper
back just below the neck)
this diagnosis must not be the cause of
possible associated problems and is
certainly not a guarantee that it requires
surgery!
The person should get a second opinion and
do research on alternative methods for a
wider picture.
A more detailed long distance diagnosis is
not possible here so if you wish that do
not hestitate to contact me private.
Blessings

Be Careful Liononline! Posted: 09-17-06 09:52am
Thomas ~
I just wanted to say what liononline
posted is most likely a results of a the
mri or test they had done and most often
the tech or the doctor who read the test
will not explain the results. Lion's
doctor may or may not explain the results
either in detail or in terms a layperson
will understand.
I belong to several support boards and it
is very common for members to post their
tests results and as that others explain
what it means. To be honest many of us
who have dealt with spine problems do know
what the results mean and can help others
understand what it means.
Yes, I agree everyone should get more
then one opinion and do research and I
feel that is what lion is doing.
I am concerned about this line in your
reply:
a more
detailed long distance diagnosis is not
possible here so if you wish that do not
hestitate to contact me private.
#1 the reason is because lion didn't post
mush other then to ask what the results
mean for one.
#2 just to remind you that I don't think
you should say you can give lion a
diagnosis with out seeing him/her. A
diagnosis can not be made period via the
computer. You actually need to see the
person.
#3 I question why you are posting on a
online support board? What is your goal
or angle to posting on a board? Do you
have something to sell????
Now for liononline ~
please be very careful with this thomas
person and do not give out any of your
private information!!!!!!! Please look
where thomas zudrell is located and check
the links he posted on other threads
before giving any information about
yourself out!!!

Whoa.
Thank you, thomas, for your attention and
your offer.
Imshirl, thank you for your concern and
advice. I'm new to support boards and
don't know a lot about them.
Anyhoo . . . What do my mri's mean?
Imshirl, you're right, the doctor hasn't
explained much at all.

Clarification Please Posted: 09-18-06 03:03am
Just to clarify things,
i do not sell anything using this board
but rather want to give support to
people.
I do not and never will do a long distance
diagnosis that is what I wanted to say and
yes this can only be done by seeing a
patient.
Nevertheless I am willing to explain
certain things to people who ask me
without seeing them in person and this is
not associated with any products or
services of mine it will always be as
neutral as it can be and for free!
My life is an open book because there is
nothing to hide and it is on the net so
everybody can check me out freely. Some
talk to me, some good, some bad, some not,
that is life. I am someone who looks for
constructive critic and communication.
Thanks for all your concerns.
Thomas
