Hi everyone, I'm really worried about my younger sister and could use some guidance while we wait on the official report.
She's 21, otherwise healthy, and has had low back pain on and off for a while — but for the past month it hasn't let up at all, it's constant now. We got X-rays first but they didn't show anything clear, so we finally got an MRI done today (lumbar spine, axial and sagittal views). We won't get to sit down with the radiologist for the full written report for a bit, and the waiting has been really stressful. I'm attaching some of the scan images (name and other identifying info removed) in case anyone can offer insight or suggest what we should be asking her doctor.
This has been really scary for our family since she's so young and otherwise healthy. Any thoughts, or questions we should bring to her doctor when we review the results, would mean a lot. Thank you for reading
