Re: Possible OPLL?

[Ajay Reddy]

Hi Diane,

I am not a doctor but i was told that OPLL occurs mostly in Cervical (C2-C7) or Lumbar(L1-L5) areas. If you see the spine compressed in the T7-T10 area, most likely you have herniated disks in this area. The T7 vertebra is one of the 12 thoracic vertebrae found in the middle region of the back. I don't believe it has any thing to do with OPLL. 

If you have pain around the T7-T10 vertebra or anywhere along the spine, you should consider beginning a regimen of non-invasive, conservative treatment, like mild exercise, pain medication, or steroid injections.It is very server situation, then only opt for the surgery.

Again, I am not a doctor but based on my research in the past 3 months, I am offering on what I know. 

Good thing you have to do is, know what you have with the doctor. Then you can think of alternatives to fix the problems.

Hope this helps.

Hi, this is my second attempt at posting, im not too sure if im in the right place so here goes, hopefully someone will see this, i will be brief and just ask if anyone knows if an mri which says possible OPLL in T7-10, ct scan recommended, can be wrong as i am pretty worried about this, many thanks, Diane.
