∙ 11y ago
I just had a volume rendered 3-D CT for my lower back and found to my surprise that my left L1 transverse process was in floating large and small chunks slowly descending through my abdomen, the left L-2 looks like a amateur welder welded it back-on (plain fracture). I can't recall any pain...but I did have 'idiomatic' pleurisy some years ago...perhaps that was it's 'referred pain'.
