I've not had Mylogram with dye.

Someone told me there were other tests they could be doing for my

cervical area to find out what's causing all of my pain and headaches.

good morning...

to determine if there is nerve damage caused by the herniated disc

putting pressure on the spinal cord, there is also a nerve conduction

test. That i have had done for my cervical injury. its annoying but

necessarily painful. the place needles, such as with acupuncture, into

the major nerves in both arms and hands and then they used very gentle

electric " shock " . the needles have electrodes which are attached to

the monitor which then determines the level of conduction. i've had

it done for my neck (arms and hands) and my legs (for my back).

honestly, i'm not sure of what other major tests that can be done. my

surgeon has only ordered the mri, cat, etc, and my pain specialist

orders the nerve tests. i suggest you speak with a pain specialist

who can do his own treatment, mine injects steroids into my neck and

shoulders and even into a spot in the back of my head to stop my

headaches and other pain as they relate to my neck. he/she can do a

referral to a doctor specifically for the nerve conduction. for your

headaches, first step could be PT, find a really good pain management

specialist.

take care.. i hope that helps. anymore questions or suggestions feel free.

I've been to Pain Management doctor, he did the medial branch blocks

on my cervical are on 10-15, didn't work for me and has turned me back

over to my Neurosurgeon, been waiting since 10-29 to see him. My appt.

finally is on Tuesday, that is if he doesn't cancel me again for

another patient like he did last week.

I've been trying to get help with pain and headaches since July.
