I am 69 years old female. Since 2-3weeks I was having pain in right pelvic region and slight low backache.. Other than that I had no any symptoms…I had significant weight loss but didn’t care about it much…10 days back I underwent MRI Lumbo-sacral spine with TIM which showed partial collapse of L1 vertebra showing heterogenous altered signal intensity with in an ill-defined lobulated lesion in right half of body of L1 vertebra suggestive of either being neoplastic or infective..Then I underwent PET-CECT which showed Hypermetabolic lesion involving almost entire caudate lobe of liver suggestive of primary liver malignancy i.e.Hepatocellular carcinoma and hypermetabolic metastatic purely lytic lesion with large soft tissue component in L1 vertebra… I never had alcohol or any HBV or HCV infection nor I am obese..And spinal metastatis is very rare from liver…Please give your expert opinion regarding this case.. what may be the cause and what investigations should I need to do further?

You have a condition called spinal canal stenosis. This means the space around your spinal cord is narrow. The narrowing puts pressure on the nerves in your spine. This can lead to leg pain, numbness or weakness. Aging and regular use of the spine cause wear and tear. Treatment options include physical therapy exercises, medications, or surgery in severe cases.

These signs may be due to underlying problems like bulging discs, arthritis, or spinal stenosis. The best way to find out what exactly is wrong with you is to visit an orthopedist. The treatment could be physical therapy, medication, or surgery, which will be considered depending on the condition.
