Hi Ellena,
I am kind of going through the same thing you are. My NS had wanted to do a Myelogram a few weeks ago. But I told him my Neurologist had diagnosed me with neuropathy and/or Central Pain Syndrome. So, instead he ordered another MRI with and without contrast. Fast forward to this past week and I had a follow up with him. My films look okay; not great but not bad enough to warrant any more fusions at this point. What he did instead was to refer me to the Hand Center to a Neuro doc that I assume will run more tests; EMG, etc. He is thinking I MIGHT have "double crush" going on. It is just a matter of finding out if and where there is an impingement. He is also looking at possible carpal tunnel since my Neurologist diagnosed me with slight carpal tunnel about a year ago. Anyway, once done at the Hand Center I will go back to the NS with the results. He did mention the Median nerve. Hang in there, I too, think it is awfully difficult to pinpoint it.
