Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I recently went for a CT scan for a colon problem, but mentioned to my specialist that I have severe back ache.
Upon receipt of the radiology report, it read as follows:
Bilateral pars defects are present at the L5 level with no significant spondylolisthesis at this level currently. There is however, uncovering of the L5/S1 intervertebral disc.
The pain has been getting more and more severe and it is at its worst after spending two hours on my feet, or after a night’s rest.
Please could you tell me who is the right kind of specialist to see wrt this problem.
Hi, Looking to the history your problem is with lower vertebrae and pinched nerve pressure. Consult Orthopedic surgeon/ Neuro surgeon for diagnosis and plan of treatment. Ok and take care.
