A member asked:

My mri showed "clumping of the nerve roots" and" parpara spinal muscle edema and mild atrophy" what do these mean? please help! :(

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Previous surgery?: A condition called chronic arachnoiditis can cause clumping of the nerve roots. Previous surgery or nerve damage can cause the changes in the paraspinal muscles you describe. A neurosurgeon or orthopedic back surgeon can give you the best guidance.
