A transitional vertebral body? My MRI says my L5 and S1 vertabre are genetically fused together into one vertabrae and it could be a cause for pain.

Thanks in advance for any info!!

Hi NiceGirl,

I hope you're still checking the boards. Sorry no one has answered you. I can't really help you, but I can suggest that you go to the Back Problems pages. Someone there should be able to help. Good luck.

P.S. Hi Shirl, Success, Michelle, Telzey, Baxter, Niki, and all my other friends. It's great to be back!

Hi Debbie,

Not much. Just busy getting back to trying to be ME again. It feels SO good to be independent again. How 'bout you?
