I also thought the ON was triggered from having aseptic meninigitis and walking around with it for 3 weeks before I had it treated. The ON came hot on the heels of the AM. Again, she thinks NO.
She says it's the muscles squishing my nerves, just like yours. Weird eh?
I still say it's MS and AM related, but what do I know?

What do any of us know. We just get to live with this *&#$. I was confused and amazed when the NS said the muscles were the cause of it. I found a detailed picture of the nerves and they do exit in the muscles(probably not the best description, but all I can give right now). In theory, it makes sense, but right now, the stupid hot poker keeps getting rammed up the back of my head and I don't really like it. Anyway, my PM doctor was going to do a direct ON block and he didn't. He said that the RFA to C3 should take care of it. Time will tell, but right now, the ON's are pretty angry about all of this. I upped the dose of klonopin and I'm feeling pretty spacey too. And, I have the dizziness again that I got with the diagnostic blocks, so I'm begining to think that anything thats done to the cervicals effects more than I'd expect or my wiring is totally screwed up. I think i'd buy the latter more. And I'm watching the stupid calf muscle that keeps spazzing to see if all this has any effect on it(that may be related to the radiculopathy junk I've got going on). Oh well, our similarities are weird
