I had an MRI 8 years ago, and have dealt with pain in my back that would band around to my lower rib age and abdomen. I have dealt with it basically by strengthening my back. I m 38 years old and in good shape with no other health conditions, other than sinus bradycardia. Lately the pain has increased and I have felt numbness in my small toes of my right foot and all my toes in my left except my big toe. Also I have had increased urination worse in early morning going some cases 4 times in an hour. The MRI results are as follows
Hi there. Thanks for your question at Chat Doctor. Compression in thoracic spine can be associated with numbness of legs/ foot with bowel or bladder disturbances(as in your case). But the findings in your 8-year-old MRI do not seem significant enough to attribute your current symptoms to sucChatDoctorpression(the dimensions mentioned in the MRI needs to be correlated with your background and dimensions of surrounding structures. Since the MRI is 8 years old, I would suggest you to get a new MRI after meeting your physician. We also need to rule out other conditions which can lead to your current symptomatology (naturopathies as in Diabetes Mellitus). Any new symptom in the background of such an MRI needs further evaluation for sure. Hope this helps. All the best. Regards.  Chat Doctor.
