Who Understands This X-Ray Report?

X-Ray Lumbar Spine.

Comparison is made with previous radiograph dated. 07.02.22.
The previously shown L1 compression fracture is again shown. With some further reduction in height, particularly anteriorly, as well as sclerosis in keeping with maturation. Alignment is unchanged, with again posterior prominence in keeping with the known retropulsed bone identified on CT/MRI. Mild anterior wedging of T12 vertebrae is noted. The rest of the lumbar spine appearances are unchanged.

[Peter Pedant]

the law on data is that they have to give you the data
but not translate it

wedging is squeesh, squeeshed or squeeshing
and instead of a square side on view it is er wedge-shaped ( of a vertebral body)

[Peter Pedant]

These fractures are painful
as you know....

[Smowball]

Incredibly PP. I’m now wondering if it is ever going to heal??

MissT - I’m shocked, I really am. Sending you a hug x

[MissTerious]

Waiting for an op Smow to the compression on my lumber spine. Hoping it will be about August. I'm going privately.

[MissTerious]

To ease the compression!

[Peter Pedant]

Smow - your x ray report shows that compression is NOT an issue and they were looking

[Smowball]

Well let’s hope that will help you, you poor thing x

I think I do.

Healing progressing slowly but satisfactorily.

Peter is right. I was just chatting. I didn't mean to imply you have compression. You don't. And my compression I due to my long term problem. . Sorry if I worried you Smow. X

[Smowball]

Ahh thanks Sqad!
And it’s ok MissT - you didn’t worry me x
