Hello fellow neurotalkers!!!! My mom is 85 years old and has a lot wrong with her spine. She had a myelogram today which showed a lot of things I can't pronounce or comprehend even though I was an RN before MS took over my brain. Mom mom still thinks I'm the RN though!!!! Anyway this test showed some encroachment on L 2 and 3 on the right and L 5 on the left. It also showed a vacuum disc. Now I can honestly say I had never heard of that one and it isn't my MS brain taking over. Can anyone tell me about any of these things? She is not a surgical candidate at all and is going to have a series of epidurals. She had these about 15 years ago and didn't tolerate the last one at all. Have they improved on them? Thanks!!!!!
