Suggest Treatment For Severe Back Pain

I am forty -one in good health. I just took three lumbar x-rays (a vest was not used) for some back pain and I am also scheduled to complete a renal ultrasound for further analysis. I am not pregnant. I want to become pregnant this year. 1. Do you think my eggs could have been damaged by the xrays? 2. Should I complete the ultrasound?

Neurologist 's  Response
Hi
thank you for trusting HCM
I read carefully your symptoms and understand your concern
I could be more helpful if you described more carefully your symptoms
Anyway first be calm as eggs won't be damaged from radiation as it is in small dosage
Ultrasound is to be done as it rules out abdominal and renal causes
If it is normal you should schedule a lumbar MR (a CT would be fine but it has radiation as well)
Lumbar examination will determine the diagnose
Hope my answer will be helpful
Please feel free to ask for further information or doubts
Best wishes
