Hi There, I’m Just Enquiring About A Second Opinion ,

Posted on Sun, 9 Feb 2020

Question: Hi there, I’m just enquiring about a second opinion, I hope you can see the photos properly that I send through also, I have had chronic pain in my left hip since I had my son 15 months ago, now I have had an X-ray in December which said flattening of my femoral head joint, so a pain specialist referred for an mri which the report has confused me. I’m just wondering if I could have a second opinion on the report and photos looked at to know if anyone sees anything different,
Thank you!

Brief Answer:
No avascular necrosis

Detailed Answer:
Hi there

Thanks for the query

I have reviewed your xrays. There is a bit of excess fluid in your joint but otherwise no other problems.

There is no avascular necrosis or flattening of the femoral head.

Can you tell me more about your symptoms if it's OK please.

Thank you.

Brief Answer:
Spine problem

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your reply. It seems more of a problem with the spine like Lumbar spondylosis with slip disc. It would be best to get evaluated for the same by your Orthopaedic doctor and if needed an MRI Lumbar spine be performed.
