with the x-rays we can see bones better if there is a problem with the curvature of the spine, but with the MRI we can see the nerves, the discs, the ligaments so yeah…in the end you need that one but there’s a reason for ordering the x-rays

Mungo hello I sympathise with your pain I have had 2 disc surgeries here is my advice , and experience .
1 seek out a surgeon
2 have MRI
3Schedule surgery
4get into top condition by exercising and eating right get your core muscles tight and stay in shape Im not recommending weights but most reputable gyms have exercise classes
5 watch your posture stretch every day
Good luck do it for your self

I’ve been suffering from this for 5 years…
Thanks to 500 lbs. squats (sloppily)performed in my early 20′s that I regret every single day of my life…

It’s better to make a CT-scan or a MRI from your back. Then they can see more at it. On that photos they had seen my hernias.

Xray do not pick up disc or tissue problems.. unfortunatly because of insurance companies the doctors need to send in to things in order.. xray, phsyical therapy, etc.. before they send you for an MRI. MRI is the only thing that will truelly ppick up what is going on. Request it

Dude Xrays are stupid and useless. Ask to see a neurologist and get an MRI or CTScan done…

I look like a crab on my worse days and missing wrk more often for lnger stretches of time. Used to weigh 300lbs and down to 245 after a year of changing my eating. The pain doesn’t go away. Crippling.

I currently have really bad lower back pain – and the pain is radiating up and down, right and left, back and front. I had an X-Ray, and it came out normal. Anyone who can help me, so I don’t have to keep going back and forth to the doctor and finally decipher what this is?

i had this…. except mine was with the entire back half of the disc ripped out and the nucleus pushing hard against the main nerve of the spine….. causes pain to course throughout the body especially in the legs down the main nerve…. fixed in 3 hours by a surgery.
hah!

haha a bit of both… disc herniation often occurs because of poor posture (+ repetitive straining to the intervertebral disc) or trauma (e.g. fall) which causes the herniated disc to rupture and push against the spinal nerve causing pain

How does that happen though? Is that just wear and tear? Or is it one of those cases where you say “Shit happens?”
