Dubious,

I must say that thou doest protest too much. Obviously you did not read my post closely enough, or you misconstrued my post, because there was really nothing to disagree with factually.

1.) Nowhere did I suggest that a MRI would not be useful. I only asked for information about the type of MRI numb had.

2.) The Mayo link was included to help explain the difference in a CT, MRI, and a myelogram. That link was informational only, and in no way attempted to suggest one method above any other.

In the future please try to be more careful and not take others words out of context.

Kindest regards,

EJ

But of course, EJ. I will be more careful. I know not what I am talking about and am not worthy. I bow to your hugeness and ask thou for forgiveness!

Yup, read it darn close enough. Even read it again. Begging your pardon, you were advocating myelograms because you had one, and unrealted and independantly, had a good surgical outcome. I am very happy for you. Good surgical outcomes are hard to come by. But in advocating a myelogram as you did ("it is very likely that the mylogram can reveal details not seen on the other tests"), in my opinion, is wreckless and going to get someone hurt (I've seen it happen).

Sorry, must have been the RSD-induced psychotic break. I better take another Xanex now...

With best regards

Dubious,

Please accept my humble and sincere apology for upsetting you (hopefully your Xanax has kicked in by now). I sent you a PM to extend an olive branch in private, and I trust this public apology will wipe the slate clean for us.

Hi
just a reminder that the guidelines here call for members to post respectfully to one another and not to let personal disagreements reflect in negative "flame" posts

it is very easy to misinterpret what another has written....one does not have the advantage that face to face conversation conveys and this can often lead to misunderstanding

in addition, adding comments that hold sarcasm etc only results in retaliatory posting and soon a thread deteriorates.

I am requesting too that all remember that no two people necessarily respond the same way to the same test or treatment so lets be mindful of that too

thanks
