  • Lumbar Herniated Disc question

    Lumbar disc herniations can cause lower back and leg pain but not neck pain. Ideally, you would obtain a Cervical MRI to better asses the source of neck pain. The MRI is indicated if there are any weakness or numbness in the arms/hands and/or if you have failed conservative treatment which includes Physical Therapy and a course NSAIDs. READ MORE

  • Tailbone pain

    I would recommend also obtaining an MRI of Lumbar spine to make sure we are not missing a disc herniation as the source of leg pain. There is a minimally displaced fracture based on this CT picture. READ MORE
