Hi, I have a lump in my lumbar area that I am investigating. My ultrasound came back as frozen tendon, does this mean anything to anyone? How is it treated? Why would it be frozen? I am going to a specialist but you have to wait forever to get an appointment!!

Hi Cinderella, http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/wave.gif

I have no clue, hopefully others will be along to assist you in this area.

I hope that you can finally get some answers soon, I'm sorry http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/frown.gif that you have to wait so long for an appointment.

Good Luck http://www.healthboards.com/ubb/t_up.gif

------------------
Two level laminectomy fusion L5-S1 & L2-3 done on 12/6/02.
I regret the day that I agreed to have this surgery.
Fifteen inch scar from the very top of butt crack (sorry), to the bra line.
BAK cages, rods & screws.(Titanium)
My pelvic bone was used for grafting.
Praying that the other two discs in between, won't have to be fused later, as I was told it was a possibility, due to the other two discs in between, not being in that great of shape.
Doc didn't want to fuse four levels, unless it is really necessary.
I would hate to repeat the surgery, as the recovery period, is so very painful.
I also have a free fragment in my T11-12 area, that I'm still refusing surgery for, at this point in time.
That surgery is way too dangerous for me to consider, until if affects my being able to walk.
