What Does The MRI Mean?

My 13 yo daughter s MRI reads: mottled pattern of abnormal bone marrow signal intensity throughout the hindfoot may represent complex regional pain syndrome ( reflex sympathetic dystrophy) although is nonspecific and could not exclude other entities as described above. Described above was Charcot arthropathy, but there is no evidence of this. What does all of this mean?

Hello,

The exact cause of complex regional pain syndrome isn't well understood but may involve abnormal inflammation or nerve dysfunction. Symptomatic treatment with supportive care must be given.

So don't worry in case of charcots joint may be due to nerve damage lead to arthropathy. Medication with regular exercise and physical therapy may useful in some cases. Please consult with your orthopedician he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
