Answer 1

Try HealthTap PRIME: HealthTap PRIME started in September 2014, and is a Primary Care service. A patient is connected with the first available doctor, and different doctors are online at various times. Patients don't select a particular doctor. A patient using PRIME has a one-on-one visit with the doctor via smartphone, a tablet, or a computer, and she can show the doctor pictures or results, such as an MRI report.

Answer 2

Family practice : Back pain is one of most common complaints we see people for in our drs office. Depends on severity of symptoms. Was there trauma. How active you are and how active you want to be. Some may heal in time on their own. However physical therapy will help you get better quicker. Stengthening exercises , Ibuprofen , and ice/heat compresses may help. If pain persists may need to see a neurologist.

Answer 3

Physical Therapy 1st: Most persons with this diagnosis do not have a "surgical" problem, but benefit from physical therapy (possibly including traction), strengthening and stretching exercises, anti-inflammatory medicine, and ice/heat/ultrasound or a combination. If there is significant weakness, bowel or bladder dysfunction, of if it is progressive, then involving neurology or neurosurgery would be helpful.

Answer 4

Specialty referral: Your doctor may be a general practitioner and he is sending you to a specialist who has more expertise in a certain field of medicine.

Answer 5

An abnormal finding: It depends on the site evaluated by the MRI. In any event, an abnormality was possibly seen and you are being referred for further evaluation

Answer 6

That is something: the Surgeon will do,as well as an exam,a history,other tests if need,to make a diagnosis and treatment plan,

Answer 7

Yes: if you want to discuss the scan with your doctor you should make an appointment. if you want the mri put on a cd-rom disc they should be able to do that for you as well and you can look at it as many times as you want at home.
