What Does My MRI Scan Report Indicate?
my friend has reoccurring nerve pain on his left side that he feels when touched on the left side of his spine around T9-10. No bodily motion triggers the pain. It also occurs when sitting still or driving. He is a golfer, but golfing doesn t cause the pain. When showering the water also causes the pain in his left side. He has had three epidural shots, has been treated by a chiropractor and has been treated with acupuncture. He has had some relief for a few days following the shots, but nothing that lasts. A MRI showed nothing. Any suggestions?
