Visit with your Doct: Your doctor can explain to you what he/she thinks about the cause of your back pain. If CT scan is OK, pain might settle down with simple pain medication and bed rest. Otherwise he may have to send your to another specialist and get a MRI scan of your spine which shows the spine better that a CT scan does.

Not sure about: what you are asking! What do you mean "left side vetebrae" The veterbrae are CENTRALLY located! The next step would be a BONE SCAN! however if the pain is not IN the bone itself an MRI would be preferable! Ask your question again with more info! Dr Z
