Spinal Cord Flattened At T11-12 Posted: 10-04-07 12:40pm
My CT scan shows T11-12 central disc
protrusion measuring 4 mm indenting the
thecal sac and impinging upon the spinal
cord. The spinal cord is flattened at
this level. I have extreme pain at this
level when lying down and attempting to
turn onto my side. It feels as if
something is moving in my right flank and
this is accompanied by excruciating sharp
pain.

Hi friend
You need to tell this to your Doctor, this
pain is bloody painful, they may need to
operate to remove the disc ... and the
sooner the better ... I do sympathise with
you babe ... It's not at all nice to be in
so much pain, and not to be able to get
comfortable... I had my lower disc
removed, I'm still recovering, however, if
the doctors had taken it out sooner, I
wouldn't have damaged the nerves
surrounding it so much ... this is why I
urge you to get your Doctor to do
something postive for you ... the sooner
the better for you ..
