Hello to all;
I filed for disability for some serious problems in the lumbar area.
I have been having problems with my thoracic area when I life my arms or sleep the wrong way.

I had an MRI on Monday and here is what they said;
Findings; At T-4 there is a mild disc bulge without compression of Thoracic cord. Minor end plate degenerative changes at T7-8 and T11-12 as well as L1-2. No spinal stemosis. No intrinsic cord abnormality evident. Mild bone marrow signal heterogeneity. Nonspecified.

Impression; Minor thoracic degenerative changes.

I don't have any idea what this means. I kow the pain but I don't know the extent of this finding. I hope it helps me win my social security settlesment but if it gets worse I will be more pain added to what I have.

If you know part of this report please let me know what you think.

Thanks,
Snowfrog
