I had an x ray done and it said I have thinning in my lumbar especially on L4-5 and I think L3-4 and L5-S1 or something like that. What exactly does that mean? and what are the best ways to treat it? I m going to a doctor Wednesday but I m kind of nervous about what they will say. I am only 21 years old.
Thinning of vertebra may be loss in height of vertebra or more of translucency as compared to normal bone texture on x-ray. Wonder what your radiologist really implies. It is better to wait till your consulting doctor sees X-ray himself. It is no use pondering before that. Unfortunately this website doesn't allow posting of X-ray, or other reports scans, otherwise things could be easier for us to give opinions on they can however, upload your X-ray after scanning and send me to my e-mail suniliskumar5@gmail.com
