  • Episode # 136- My Surprising MRI Results

    Episode # 136- My Surprising MRI Results
    Feb 9 2025

    Wow, I had an MRI done on my back and I talk about my surprising results in this episode.

    I’ve had some previous back issues- a snowboarding injury and a mid back problem with my rib that developed during pregnancy.

    A couple times in the last few years that my back “went out” for a few days (last time was over a year ago.)

    I do not have chronic back pain, and I do not have to restrict my activity.

    But if I had pain and numbness and these same MRIs results, I could qualify for disability.

    MRI and X Ray results actually do not accurately predict the amount of pain someone is in.

    Structural changes in the body are actually normal with age. And addressing normal degenerative changes with surgery is really nothing more than a placebo.

    We now know it’s common for pain free people to have bulging discs, torn rotator cuffs, torn meniscus of the knee, hip labral tears.

    We just haven’t been doing MRI’s on pain free people to see that.

    So here are the results if you want to read them-

    Right paracentral disc protrusion at T5-6 with mild mass effect on the ventral aspect of the cord.

    L2-3: Diffuse disc bulge extending 2.5 mm into the thecal sac. No spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis.

    L3-4: Diffuse disc bulge extending 3 mm into the thecal sac. Mild spinal canal stenosis. Mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.

    L4-5: Central disc protrusion measuring 16 mm in width and extending 5 mm into the thecal sac. Mild spinal canal stenosis. Mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.

    L5-S1: Central disc protrusion measuring 18 mm in width. Moderate to severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. No spinal canal stenosis.

    IMPRESSION:

    1. Central disc protrusion at L5-S1 with retrolisthesis measuring 6 mm. Moderate to severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.

    2. Central disc protrusion at L4-L5 with mild spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.

    3. Diffuse disc bulge at L3-4 with mild spinal canal stenosis and mild bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis.

    4. Diffuse disc bulge at L2-L3 without spinal canal or neuroforaminal stenosis.

    5. Modic type I endplate changes at L5-S1 with Modic type I endplate changes.

    6. Straightening of the lumbar spine on the sagittal view which can be seen in the setting of muscle spasm.

    Below are some of the research articles I mentioned:

    -Takatalo- 50% of healthy 21 year old Finns had at least one degenerative disc and 25% had a bulging disc.

    -Boos- 73% of adults without back pain had bulging discs.

    -Briggs- hip labral tears in 89% of pain free young athletes 16 years of age or older, & 56% of pain free athletes 16 years or younger.

    -S Rajasekaran- Delivery of MRI results affects pain and healing.

    -Karayannis Fear of movement is associated with trunk stiffness.

    If you are a woman experiencing chronic neck or back pain, I am forming a group especially for you! Details to come soon.

    Episode #135- Treating Neuroplastic Symptoms with Dr David Clarke
    Nov 18 2024
    Today I have a special guest, a leader in the field of Mindbody medicine and President of the ATNS (Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms, formerly PPDA), Dr David Clarke. Dr Clarke practiced Gastroenterology in Portland from 1984 to 2009, treating over 7000 patients whose symptoms were not explained by diagnostic testing. In this episode, Dr Clarke summarizes Pain relief Psychology. With research based methods teaching patients to take their focus off the symptom, shift attention to brain, and feel the emotions or deal with life stressors. Responding to chronic pain or symptoms this way rewires the brain, so that symptoms can be eliminated instead of just managed. Listen to hear more!

Become the person in control of your healing and make peace with your life. Become Unstoppable Body and Mind. All right. Hi, everyone. Welcome. We have a special, special guest today. This is Dr. David Clarke. Welcome. Great to be with you, Betsy. Well, we are so glad to have you here. So Dr. Clarke is one of the pioneers and leaders in this field. The head of the PPDA, which is now the ATNS, we can talk about what all of these initials mean and acronyms. But why don't we start with a little bit about your story, coming from being a Western physician to what you do now? Yeah, I didn't know anything about this. The first seven years of my formal training and education, you know, it's kind of embarrassing to admit as a physician that nobody ever mentioned the idea that your brain could cause serious pain or illness in your body, in the complete absence of anything wrong structurally or with your organs. But then I encountered a patient, I didn't know the first thing about diagnosing or treating. In year eight of my formal training, she was referred to us at UCLA where I was in training by another university because they couldn't find anything wrong to explain her symptoms. She was actually averaging one bowel movement per month, despite taking four different laxatives at double the usual doses. We did some specialized testing on her that also was normal. I was doing her exit interview and basically telling her she was just going to have to live with this because there wasn't anything more we could do. But just so the conversation wouldn't be over in two minutes, I started asking her about stress. She didn't really have any. You know, her current day life was really going just fine. But when I asked her about stress earlier, she started talking about having been molested as a girl by her father. Unfortunately, not just once or twice, which would have been bad enough, but hundreds of times. And I had never heard anybody say that before. I didn't know what to do with that information. I had no formal training in how to respond to that. But I fell back on basic instincts as a doctor, which is to try to get the story. When did it start? How often did it happen? When did it stop? Those kinds of things. And she was telling me the story in a perfectly calm tone of voice. It didn't look like she was distressed by this at all. If you didn't know better, you would think that, and I didn't know better at the time, you would think that she had completely processed this information and had moved on. And yet she has this terrible physical symptom with no explanation for it. So I didn't think the two things could possibly be connected, but they were both very striking. So I had vaguely heard of a psychiatrist at UCLA that was interested in conditions like this. And I thought maybe it'll help her to live with this a little better. So I connected her up with Harriet Kaplan, who was a psychiatrist and forgot all about her. Until I ran into Harriet in an elevator three months later, and I've told this story many times before, but this was the elevator ride that changed my career. Because in making conversation with Harriet, it turned out she had cured this patient with less than three months of counseling. And the idea that you could alleviate a serious, real physical symptom just by talking to somebody, that was nowhere in my medical education or training. And I thought, you know, if I'm going to be a complete doctor, I should know a little bit about this. So I got Harriet to teach me ...
