Re: CT myelography

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Not sure if I had the exact procedure you mention but prior to my

cervical spine surgery in 1992, I had a cervical myelogram. If it was

CT type I didn't know about it. Hate to tell you but it's scary knowing

they stick a needle in your neck. I was numbed up but still couldn't

relax. Near the end a tech said you can relax now! I didn't realize I

was so tense I was off the table! Be sure and take something to relax

you if you get the test done.

Thanks for the info, Debbie. What kind of surgery did you have on your

spine? Did it help?

Hi ,

Hope I didn't scare you from getting the test. In Dec 1991, I had C5,C6

& C7 fused together. It limits my neck range of motion but no other

problems. Diffinately not radiating pain!
