I am a little excited to go to the place where they will be doing my
epidural. I am excited because I will be getting some pain relief. I look
for ward to it.
I was able to get my report from my MRI and this is what it said.
1.2 cm hyperintense lesion on the S1 vertebra
L4-5 minimal disc bulging
L5-S1 Mildly disc bulging
Mild straightening of the lumbar spine
Minimal disc bulging at the L4-5  and L5-S1

The lesion is what they are concerned with but I do not know why? I mean is
it like just a scratch or what?
The thoracic spine had a lesion as well but I do not have that report in
front of me

Got hame and I am resting...in pain here...owwwiieee..They said I will fell
better in a few days..lookinh forward to it for sure

I know nothing about the lesion possibilities, but I DO know that "minimal"
bulging discs can cause a lot of misery, so the disc bulging you have must be
most uncomfortable!  I hope with you that they can provide you with
significant pain relief.

I hope you are doing better by now. Did they tell you anything more about
the lesions and what will happen with them. I hope all goes well for  you.
