My wife went to the doctors seeking relief for the pain she s experiencing in the lower mid section of her back after ruling out all the could be she was informed that the X-Ray showed she was missing a bone in that area . My question is What bone could it be?
Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of your wife. As the x-ray report suggest the missing of the bone this could be either the lower thoracic or in the lumbar region. She needs a thorough clinical examination and an MRI to understand the possible factors. Also, the blood routine to check for the vitamin D and calcium levels in body. As this could be associated with some other condition like scoliosis or anything else. Post thorough clinical examination and MRI the pathology and pathomechanics can be understood. If the bone is missing this can not be replaced as it's a spinal region and only a muscle Strengthening can be performed which can help restabilize the spinal column. Regards Jay In Chat Doctor.
