I was wondering if anyone could help me with this issue. Iwas recently denied for a claim for bilateral lower extremity lumbar radiculopathy. They said in my desicion that and i quote (the medical evidence of record fails to show that this disability has been clinically diagnosed). What does that mean? I thought i had this one in the bag.
Check this out. This is what they said in my MRI:
At L2 L3 there is a
right paracentral and foraminal disc protrusion with extrusion
and mild superior migration, producing narrowing of the right
lateral recess and posterior displacement of the right L3 nerve
root. Protrusion contacts and produce mild displacement of the a
right L2 nerve root within the neural foramen.
Impression:
1. L2 L3 right paracentral and foraminal disc protrusion with
extrusion and mild superior migration, producing mild
displacement of the right L2 nerve within the neural foramen and
the right L3 nerve within the lateral recess. Please correlate
clinically for right L2 and/or L3 radiculopathies
Would'nt that be a diagnoses? Any help would be highly appreciated.
