A member asked:

What would a signal void in the bladder be? i went for an mri on my back, for back pain, and the report showed that finding.

Possibly a stone: A signal void on MR is nonspecific however it may represent a stone within the bladder. That may account for your pain. You probably need a CT of the abdomen and pelvis to look for renal/bladder stones.
