Brain and Spine Problems
Lumbar spondylosis
Hi Dr,
I am N Maheswaran. 6 months before i was experienced low back pain and pain in my right foot with tingling and numbness. I suggested for MRI. MRI results are
1. Mild straightening of spinal curvature seen.
2. Small anterior osteophytes seen at l3, l4, l5. Evidence of spina bifida at l5.
3. Dissecative disc changes and reduced disc height at l5-s1.
4. Concentric disc bulge at l4-l5 indenting thecal sac causing mild bilateral neural foramina compromise.
5. Diffuse disc bulge with posterior annular tear and postero central extrusion at l5-s1 compressing anterior epidural fat without nerve root compression and neural foramina compromise.

Hit just above eye
Hi Doctor, 2 days ago, accidentally, my father's elbow hit me right above my left eye, under the eyebrow. There was no pain initially. It got red and swelled up. With some icing, the redness went away and the swelling is now nearly gone (still a little visible). There were no other symptoms, no nausea or dizziness or blurry vision at all. Should I do anything else about it?
