See if they'll do an entire spine MRI.  I am in awe at how something 3 feet away can cause so much pain and discomfort.  I cant put on socks and I even need to be carefull on how the blanket rests on my foot.

MRI's may not, but the CT scan showed all kinds of stuff, using contrast dye.  They had one done after my discogram, and it was pretty interesting what it showed.

The thing I found out about MRI's of the spine, they like to have several of them over time to compare... to see changes.

Wish you the best of luck.

Having a nerve conduction study done on Wednesday and my surgery is on Thursday.  I am really wanting to get full use of my right foot back, I really hope that the Dr's can get this figured out.

Saw the neurologist today and he poked, shocked, and basically annoyed the bajeezus out of me.  After an hour of electricity going through my leg he said that my peroneal nerve has alot of damage around my knee that is keeping me from using my foot.  He said that if it doesn't get any better in a month or so that I will have to have an orthopedic surgeon fix it.  I was kind of worried that the problem was gonna be in my back so I guess my knee isn't so bad.  Still having my ankle surgery tomorrow and will be hobbled anyway for the next couple of weeks.

So Pappy... what's up with your back problems (if I may ask)?
Been down this road for 3 years now and I always take an interest in surgical remedies.

And CONGRATS Jeremy on the good news, knees and such are bad enough but generally respond to surgical treatments I'm told.
