I'll grab the CD and go on up to my pain guy(Dr.) to get assessed on my lumbar pain I've had since 1995. Wish me luck, my old pain killer has not been as good as it was three months ago. /NY , Just remember CTscans can do thinner cuts or cross sections so if it something they can see on the MRI, good but don't depend on MRI's to pick up some nerve problems.

Bennie Good morning Bennie, Enjoy your 4TH! I have had so many CT done they don't dare take any more, they believe I may get radiation poisoning. I've gotten so many Xrays this year too(6). They,the doctors, don't want to give me more Xrays too! They, the Dr's decided I was to get only MRI's for a while. I did get a CT to my neck earlier this year, in Feb. It showed how badly the myelopathy has gotten. I knew how bad it was by just trying to turn my head. That is next on the list to be operated on, three levels have to be bonded or, fused together while removing the damaged spurs and inserting cages to stabilizing the spine.
