So I got my MRI results back...

sgautschi · December 2013

For those of you who don't know, here's a little backstory:

I've had numbness in my legs for 8 years and back pain for 5 years. I've had my legs give out from under me, and have had periods of time where I am bedridden for a few days from the pain.

So I finally got an MRI of the back and pelvis. The orthopedic doctor says that although I have a minor disc bulge at L4-L5, he doesn't think it's causing my pain. The MRI of the pelvis, however, showed numerous small cysts on each ovary and is suggestive of PCOS. It also said something about pelvic venous congestion.

Not sure what a lot of this means, but I have an appointment January 29th to see my OBGYN and go over the results. I'm a little nervous about what she may say and how this may/may not affect TTC#2 in a few years.

I'm sorry this is happening but I'm glad you got some sort of explanation. Hopefully they will give you some realistic treatments options on the 29th.

I was really hoping it wasn't related to a GYN thing. A back issue would've been so much easier to fix. At least I'm really close to answers though.

Thank you LL.

I imagine it's really scary thinking about having trouble with #2. My fingers are still crossed that it's a quick fix.

Sucks across the board bc I know you're in pain and wanted answers, just not really this one. But fingers crossed that since you're finding out well in advance of ttc2 that you can take charge and correct as much as possible now.

Honestly I do feel kind of guilty for feeling nervous about #2, when so many have trouble with #1. I should just be thankful that I have A. I guess I can't help how I feel though.

Thanks ladies. I will update when I get more info sometime next month.

So sorry! It sounds like you've gone through a lot. I hope you get clearer answers soon.

So sorry SG. I'm glad you got some answers though and hopefully this won't affect ttc #2.

@sgautschi It's ok to be worried about #2, some people don't even think of that when they go for #2 and it throws them off to suddenly have a problem.

I'm glad you got some answers and I hope you get more on the 29th. I have PCOS if you ever want to talk, I'm here

You seem to be on the right track for getting the answers you need. GL moving forward!

sparklingdiamond · December 2013

I'm sorry :-( Hopefully you can get some more answers soon!

GL on your appointment. I'm sorry that they may have found a problem, but at least they have a direction to go to solve it.

Wow, I knew you had a history of pain and had a lot when you were pregnant but I didn't realize it was quite so bad. Fx for a good appointment next month.

I'm sorry but I hope they're able to help you soon!
