A member asked:
Should i be worried about my mri results when it showed that i have a cyst between l4 and l5 and it shows to be pinching nerves? does this mean that there is a chance i have cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The suggestion is for a cyst that are usually benign in nature, still potentially causing local damage and radicular pain. Best to clarify remains your ordering doc or the neurosurgeon.
