Has anyone seen a genetics counselor after negative brca 1/2 analysis? I just got my negative results but was given a referral to see a genetic counselor. Not sure if it is worthwhile. I see Dr next week and will ask about it but am just wondering if anyone has found it helpful.
Planted by previous owner of my home. Is it a peony? It has ants on the flowers but seems healthy.
Anyone get infection from mri core biopsy? I had biopsy 3.5 weeks ago and was feeling okay until a few days ago. I started feeling pain again and developed a red inflamed area, saw surgeon today and started an antibiotic, she was surprised at how little the hematoma had reduced. So my intraductral papilloma surgery is on hold.
I had mri core biopsy 12 samples with vacuum assist, almost 3 weeks ago. There is still a hematoma and pinching and stinging with blood coming from the nipple. Not a lot of blood ,but leaves specks on bra. I am awaiting call to schedule the excision of the intraductral papilloma that was causing spontaneous clear discharge. Should I wait until the hematoma is completely gone. I will call breast surgeon, but am wondering if anyone has had this experience. I am 64, so may be that I just heal slower. A prior biospy of the same breast did not hurt at all.
FINDINGS: This report assumes 5 non-rib bearing lumbar type vertebral bodies. (Correlation with radiographs of the lumbar spine is recommended to better assess numbering of lumbar vertebral bodies, particularly if a surgical intervention is being considered for the patient).
Alignment: Grade 2 anterolisthesis of L5 on S1.
Bone: Vertebral body heights are preserved. Posterior instrumented fusion at L5-S1 with pedicle screws and vertical rods. Additional laminectomy of L5-S1.
Nerves: Conus medullaris is normal in position terminating at L1
Muscles: Symmetric bulk.
Soft Tissues: Unremarkable.
At T12-L1, no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing
At L1-L2, no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing
At L2-L3, no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing
At L3-L4, no spinal canal or neuroforaminal narrowing
At L4-L5, facet joint hypertrophy. No spinal canal narrowing. Mild bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing
At L5-S1, grade 2 anterolisthesis. Disc uncovering. Disc bulge. Spinal canal is decompressed by laminectomy. Facet arthrosis. Moderate bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing. Evaluation degraded by susceptibility artifact from hardware.
Abdomen/Retroperitoneum: Multiple cysts are noted in both kidneys.
Fusion hardware is noted across the right SI joint. Joint space narrowing of bilateral SI joints.
IMPRESSION:
Posterior instrumented fusion and laminectomy at L5-S1. Grade 2 anterolisthesis L5-S1. Facet arthrosis with moderate bilateral neuroforaminal narrowing at this level. No change since prior exam.
Facet joint hypertrophy at L4-L5 with mild bilateral neuroforamina
I had mri biopsy almost 2 days ago. I had clear nipple discharge before the biopsy, but now it is little drops of blood. Anyone had this happen?
When I go the dentist they put a topical numbing agent on the gum before inserting the lidocaine. Does anyone know if that can be done for breast biopsy? The numbing needles I needed for mri biopsy were done behind the nipple and 9 guage, the radiolgist told the tech to stop me from moving because I was moving too much from the shock of the needles. It was really out of my control, the body naturally reacts to pain. I am thankful the needles do their job but just wondering if there is something I can ask for if that type of biopsy is needed again. I had a mammo guided biopsy a few years ago, all I felt was a tiny pinch during numbing.
