I would like to see other people's xrays too. Would be interesting to compare.

Interesting!! Looks like vertebral disk space widening? And I see a lot of bone on bone. And wow, no longer see much of a sacroiliac joint d/t fusion?
I'd be interested in seeing the Doctors' radiology report to see what they say about your xrays??
BTW-How do you scan them to get them online. Does the clinic do that for you?

I'll see what I can dig up for the radiology report. Part of the cool thing about participating in Dr. Weisman's research is that they gave me a copy of my x-rays on cd. I could only get to my x-rays by using their program though, so I opened up an x-ray, hit print screen on the keyboard, opened microsoft paint, selected paste, cut out what I wanted to show and blackened out my medical #'s and then saved it as a jpeg.

That's cool. Do you have any views of the back of the spine. It looks like the one you have is the frontal view. If I could figure out how to do it, I'd share my xrays, but not sure if I could figure out how.?
My first xray 7 years ago found this:
Four lumbar vertebrae are identified with partial transitional L5 vertebrae and pseudoarthrosis bilaterally. Evidence of bilateral small twelfth ribs, the lowermost well devloped vertebrae is counted as L5. There is, hence, narrowed L5-S1 disc joints since it is a pseudoarthrotic joint. There is no spondylolisthesis. A minimal degree of dextroscoliosis is noted.
7 years later and dx. with spondy
AP, lateral and oblique views of the lumbar spine reeal no evidence of fracture or other acute bony abnormality. There is slight thinning of L5-S1 disk space, however, this is felt to be due to a congenital transitional lumbosacral segment with probable sacralization of L5. It would require a complete thoracic spine count for further determination of type of transitional segment. Incidental findings include rather marked bony eburnation and sclerosis of the opposed margins of the sacroiliac joints suggesting severe bilateral sacroiliitis. Joint space is slightly widened involving both sacroiliac joints. This most likely is degenerative in nature.
Left knee normal in appearance.

I'm not good at medical speak so if someone wants to break it down for me I would appreciate it. Also feel free to comment all you want, even if you don't have any x-rays to share.
FINDINGS: CERVICAL SPINE-LATERAL VIEW: Cervical alignment is normal. Syndesmophyte production is present in the interior mid cervical spine without bridging or fusion of the vertebral bodies. There is degenerative disc disease at the C5-6 and C6-7 levels. The posterior elements are normal.
LUMBAR SPINE-AP AND LATERAL VIEWS: Bridging syndesmorphtyes are present along the entire anterior and lateral aspects of the lumbar spine fusing the vertebral bodies. There is some fusion posteriorly as well. There is partial fusion of some of the facet joints prosteriorly.
PELVIS-AP VIEW: The SI joint spaces are fused. The hip joint spaces are normal without evidence of osteophyte formation.
Impression: Radiographic findings consistent with ankylosing spondylitis. Using the BASRI scoring system, the cervical pine is grade-II, with no posterior element fusion. The lumbar spine is grade-IV, with partial posterior element fusion. The sacroiliac joint spaces are grade-IV bilaterally. The hip joint spaces are grade-0 bilaterally, with no osteophyte formation.

You might be able to take your x-rays to kinko's and have them scan them onto a cd. Be good just to have a digital back up.

I know this may not be funny but the desire for the exchanging of Xrays reminds me of when I was a little girl and my friends and I wanted to see what the others had!! Now we're all much older and desire to see each others Xrays!! Jean Angel
