How to diagnose ligament ossifications?
Hi doctor,
I am having a pins and needles sensation in my palms and feet. Also, stinging pain can be felt when performing physical activities that involve the upper body. X-ray report of the thoracic spine mentions potential ankylosing spondylitis due to the presence of interspinous ligament ossification and reactive sclerosis in the thoracic spine. However, an independent MRI report does not mention the same. I would like to have a radiologist analyze both my X-ray and MRI scan reports.

Would you please interpret my CT scan film?
Hi doctor,
I have undergone a CT (computed tomography) scan. In the report (attachment removed to protect patient identity), can you please interpret the film? I had only the film, and the report will come only after two days. Would you please tell me whether it is fine or not?

What could be the reason for uncontrollable pelvic movements and difficulty walking?
Hello doctor,
I tore something from my ribs and pelvis five years back; since then, my entire torso has been falling apart, and no doctor can pinpoint exactly what it is. Since the injury, my left ribs are floating around, and I can no longer control my pelvic movements, causing my pelvic joints to hit each other upon every walking movement.
Kindly help.
Thank you.

I have an enlarged lymph node. Will it be cancer?
Hi doctor,
I am a 25-year-old female with a height of 5'6 feet and a weight of 220 lb. I take tablet Propranolol for fast heart rate. I am not diagnosed with anything other than this. I recently had a neck CT because of some swelling. It was ectopic thyroid tissue. But in the impression, it also noted that I had mild left axillary adenopathy, likely reactive, and a few enlarged axillary nodes, one being 14 mm short axis containing normal fatty hilum and correlating with any recent vaccine in the left arm. I have gotten both COVID-19 doses in the latter half of this year, as well as two weeks before this neck CT, and I received a Tdap vaccine after a cut on my finger. I have not had any swelling in my armpit or symptoms of anything related to that. Is this finding of particular concern? How were my armpit lymph nodes even visible on a neck CT? Are my armpit nodes located in my upper chest? The bottom limit of the CT scan seems to be the aortic arch, and I thought I would let you know even though maybe thats how they all are, and you already knew that. I have been worried about that lymph node finding, and I do not know if I should be concerned. And it is also somewhat strange that the radiologist could see those nodes from that particular view of my body. I would appreciate any insight. Please help.
