I have had the emg and nerve conduction on both legs. they did not use contrast on the MRI. The MRI was only done on the lumbar region. My first injections were bi lateral L4 and then we did bi lateral L5. I'm not anxious to have any more right now though.
I have seen a specialist from the Laser Spine Institute but will go for another opinion with another Dr. I have been recommended to one in the area.
I'm just not sure where to go next. I am getting tired of the tests to be honest with you. I have to go have a SI MRI next and am scheduled for Echocardiogram to make sure the heart isn't causing an issue.View Thread

I have been to a neurosurgeon spine specialist who advised me there is nothing he can do for me because he didn't see anything on the MRI out of the ordinary. I've seen a physiatrist for the EMG and injections, I have a rheumatologist that did tons of bloodwork and xray on the sacrio. Everything was normal there. She is going to order an MRI for the SI joint next I believe. I don't have PAD. I'm at a loss. I was so hoping that the epidurals would work. I think I feel a little relief but certainly nothing to brag about.View Thread
