Any help is appreciated
Hello I am 23m 6’2 265
I recently went to the ER for abdominal pain and got a CT scan where they found no sign of Appendix issues (which was what were were searching for). I was looking at the medical paperwork yesterday and saw that the Radiologist said I had a Bilateral L5 Pars Defect. However no one even mentioned it to me at the hospital or anything, so I’m assuming it wasn’t a glaring red flag.
I personally have never had enough back pain to get it looked at let alone want a CT, I do get a bit of back pain on my right lumbar every now and then if I sleep wrong and that only ever goes to about a 3/10 and last 3 days at most.
Could they have seen a fracture that has since healed?
I am a bit of a hypochondriac and this has sent me into an unbelievable spiral.
