Default myelogram today

It wasn't so awful. The radiologist did it under flouroscopy, and used a tiny needle. He took fluid to send off for tests for neuropathy and MS (which I know I don't have). They injected dye, and I felt nothing until they asked me to roll around. At that point I got butt pain.They said the extra dye in the spinal column just would increase any pressure on nerves that were at all compromised, so this was expectable, and transient. Then they did a CT.

So, I'm ready to make an appt with the surgeon and discuss the results.

I was wiped out today, but it wasn't all the myelo, some was the sinuses. And the big headache that 5% of people get---I didn't get it.

My legs are wobbly, however, kind of rubbery. If that's not gone by morning, I'll let them know. But now I'm using my trekking pole in the house. I think it's because the dye caused pressure that mimics spinal stenosis. We'll se tomorrow, but i'm not worried.
