What Does Bone Lesion On L-4 Indicate?

I had an MRI and was told I had a bone lesion on L-4. Is this a crack or hair line fracture? I had fallen on black ice and since then have had pain. I am thinking this may have been caused by my fall on black ice, Your thoughts are welcome. THank you

Hi,
I understand your concern, but it's very speculative to say what the lesion could be without actually seeing the MRI. It can be anything from wedge compression to anterior or posterior osteophytes to a growth of blood vessels. I suggest that you upload the MRI image so that an exact description of the lesion can be made.
