Cervical X-Rays Post-PRP

By
Cervical X-Rays Post-PRP

F21 cervical flexion and neutral x-ray images. December 2022 x-rays reported loss of cervical lordosis, mild anterolisthesis C4 on C5, and minimal anterolisthesis C3 on C4. However symptoms were that of upper cervical instability: visual snow and floaters, tingling/numbness in hands and legs, dizziness, light and sound sensitivity, and headache and neck pain. Normal MRI/CT. Symptoms increased with neck motions looking down or rotating. Symptoms were written off as anxiety for months, prescribed gabapentin, prednisone that only worsened symptoms.

June 2023 x-rays shows some improvement and radiology report no longer shows any anterolisthesis or loss of cervical lordosis. X-rays were taken after 2 rounds of PRP from C1-C7. Both procedures targeted different areas, supraspinous, interspinous, and nuchal ligaments, and facets were injected. Symptomatically better however still experience neck pain (flares) when looking down or rotating. Injury and symptom onset after chiropractic manipulation.

Do rad techs/sonographers deal with vomit often?

By
Hi there! I’m currently considering going to school to be a rad tech or sonographer but I’m struggling to find out if you guys deal with vomit a lot. I am emetophobic (phobia of vomit) and, while I think I’d like these jobs a lot, it does worry me to think about having to deal with it often.

I got into the Rad Tech program!

By
I just want to share with you that I finally got into the program at our local community college and i’m starting this summer. For context, I’m already 30yo with a prior BS degree and decided on a career change. During the pandemic until this semester, I took my time to take all the pre-reqs and GEs required while working. I also volunteered at a hospital for over a year. It was optional due to COVID, but I still did it to get the brownie points. I finally applied last March 2023 and received good news last Friday. The program is based on a pointing system, so I think having good grades really mattered. It was my first time applying and the only program I applied to. I didn’t know it was possible to get in on your first try because of all of the stories I’ve been reading, so don’t lose hope because it’s possible! Wishing everyone who’s applying this year good luck. You can do this! If you have questions, I will do my best to answer them 😊 also if you have tips on how to survive this ...
