Accepted Answer

Possibly: Which lead(s) is/are involved and the depth of T wave inversion are important variables. Some T waves are labile and may invert without significance. T waves are normally inverted in  AVR and V1. They are often inverted normally in AVL and somtimes AVF. Brain injury is a well known non-cardiac cause of TWI but lumbosacral neuritis has nothing to do with T waves. Abn electrolytes can also  be facto

Question 8

definition of lumbosacral neuritis?

Accepted Answer

See below: Neuritis means inflammation of a nerve, but we would not usually describe lumbosacral nerve problems by that term.  Might instead use radiculitis or radiculopathy.  Not sure of what context this was introduced, but perhaps this refers to pain radiating from your spine down a leg.  If occurring after back surgery, perhaps post-op scarring or arachnoiditis.

Accepted Answer

Hi,
sorry : Hi, 
sorry to hear about your problems. First of all, try not to worry. Yes, paralysis is possible with cervical spondylolysis, but it is rare and usually does not occur overnight. Having said that, it is difficult to advise based on the histroy alone. Physical examination and MRI report would be needed to get a better picture of your problem.
The pain does not always correlate with the findings. In other words, many people have severe pain and little pathology or a lot of pathology and mild pain. It sounds like your pain is not acute but rather chronic. Medications do tend to stop working over time and sometimes they need to be changed or replaced by others to control pain. 
Increased pain alone does not indicate that something terrible is going on. Watch for weakness in the arms or legs, changes in your bowel/bladder function, and , if you need to, get a second opinion.
Good luck.
