CT myelogram Scan's
Updated: Aug 25
This is Conrad's spine from the CT myelogram conducted in December of 2024.
The bright channel in the second image is where the nerves to his legs run. At L4-L5, the disc has pushed backwards into that channel and narrowed it — spinal canal stenosis. The report notes it's worse in certain positions, and that the left L5 nerve roots are likely being compressed when he moves.
In plain terms: walking closes the space around his nerves. That's why he can't stay on his feet and the reason for nerve damage down his legs, constant pain and the need for surgery.
