Hello doctor,
My wife is suffering from back pain from couple of years and now this has got extended to legs. She kind of gets regular pains like muscle pulling in legs. We got the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) done and it says well defined altered cystic signal intensity noted along the lumbo sacral nerves on right side measuring 0.71x 0.55 inch. Based on the MRI results what do you suggest?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Regarding your question, I would explain that this cyst is not related to her clinical situation. These cysts are since birth and are usually asymptomatic. In my opinion her symptoms could be related to the bulging disc in L5S1 level, which may need surgery. For this reason I would recommend consulting with a spinal surgeon. Another treatment option would be steroid intrathecal injection. You should discuss with her doctor on the above treatment option.
