Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had severe lower back pain for several weeks. For the past two weeks I can only walk bent over at the waist. I had an cray two days ago on my lower back and upper hips. It showed a variance? Now they are sending me for a MR I. I have been in extreme pain the whole way down my left leg and have an indentation about 3insh diameter on the right side of my left calf.
A variance on X-ray of the lower spine and upper hip could be the cause of pain in left leg. MRI will further delineate the cause of variance on X-ray. Kindly, post your MRI report for interpretation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Shailja Puri, Pathologist and Microbiologist
