    I've been having some lower stomach pain and thought it was a hernia but that was ruled out. Saw a sports med doc today and they ordered me an xray and MRI. Had the xray today but the MRI isn't for a few weeks and then I'll follow up with the doc to review the results.

    I did received the results of my Xray but as I said I won't see the doc for 3 weeks. Can anyone help me decipher what this means?

    "IMPRESSION:

    Pelvic phleboliths. Trace sclerosis at the inferior portion of the pubic

    symphysis which may be seen with degenerative changes. No displaced

    fractures."

    Phleboliths= stones (calcification) in the veins

    Sclerosis= hardening

    Inferior portion of the pubic symphysis= lower portion of the joint where the pubic bones come together
