Hi Calla,

I am not sure what he means by a "stress" lumbar study. However, if it is involving flexion and extension - that is just a plain old X-ray with you bending over in one film and arching your back in another film. Not too bad other than posing to get your "picture taken".

Are you suppose to have an MRI too?
