Schmorl's nodes treatment
My wife has been diagnosed with Schmorl's nodes age 29? What could be the possible causes of this? Current weight: 65kg & height: 5.4. Job: 9 hours seated on a computer. Her medical history is 1. Appendicitis surgery four years ago. 2. Endometriosis (Chocolate cyst) surgery one year ago. Hence, she had to take injection Lupride Dept 3.75 twice before surgery (once a month), tablets like ovaries+, letoval, cabgolin etc. for menstrual/infertility related issues. We were looking to go for ICSI/IVF due to infertility problem. Now, pregnancy is not recommended by doctors due to spine issue. What could be the causes of Schmorl's nodes at L1, L2 vertebrae (reports attached)? Apart from above described medical history, she was complaining of pain after she fell at a seashore on slippery rocky surface and hurt her lower back. Can this be the reason? What could be the possible reasons? What are the possible treatments?
