Earl, I hope all goes as well as expected! Did you just have 'MRI' that showed the root impingement, or did the do an 'EMG', as well?

I have a disc herniation in that location with no definite root impingement, but an 'EMG' showed acute and chronic denervation in the vastus, increased duration during polyphasic, and positive sharp waves. + fibrillations.

One doctor I saw in N.Y. said it was from the disc herniation, but did not give me a referral to get it fixed.

I had 2 abnormal biopsies. Just trying to put my own puzzle together. I quit on the doctor in N.Y.

Thanks!
