Mine was done without flouroscopy too. My neuro did it himself in an extended outpatient room at the hospital. I had to about beg to get the LP, so I didn't beg for the flouro. I got lucky and mine was a breeze.
He told me since my lumbar was in good shape and I'm thin, he really didn't need it. He could see my vertibra and knew where to go. If I had to do it again, I'd want flouro though. But I don't see me doing another anytime soon.
Gazelle - I'm with you... scar tissue? From a couple epis and an lp? I think that guy needs a tatoo of Ryan Secrest on his testes... a worse fate than castration.
Somebody might *have* a castrated guy.
Hope you feel better soon. And I say 2 O's and that seals it. I'll dx you myself, dagnabbit.
