Re: Nerves - Kristy was --->CT scan

[Guest guest]

Kristy, after having the vulvar burning from the CT scan, it has made me wonder about the nerves in my vulvar region. I spoke with Dr. Conway yesterday and will be seeing him for PN testing on the 26th. I'm trying so hard to learn more about the lumbosacral nerves...it is a very complicated area. Have you had specific testing on the nerves you mentioned? I am so praying my PN is not entrapped. Hugs, ChelleKristy Sokoloski wrote: Chelle,The reason I reacted to the dye is because of how damaged thenerves to my vulva are. My problem nerves are the genitofemoraland ilioinguinal nerves that I know of for sure. Don't know yetabout the pudenal nerve branch if it's also causing problemsbecause I haven't gotten it tested yet. That's what I want totalk to my gyn about now after

having a discussion with my PainManagement doctor who was surprised when I told her that thisnerve branch could be tested. I told her about the way that theEMG tech that I saw in the Spring said and also the way that Dr.Conway does it by testing it on the back area.Kristy

,

I have not had the testing of the nerves in question yet as a

result of the conversation I had with the EMG tech in the Spring

but I'm going to have a conversation with my gyn about this as

well and see if now we need to look at my pudenal nerve branch

too to see if that's adding to part of my problem.

Right now I'm going to do some more research on a type of MRI

called Fonar MRI where they are able to take shots in different

positions such as the sitting position. Then I'm going to take

that information to both my gyn and my Pain Management doctor to

see what they think. I need to find out more about why I have a

narrowing of nerves at L4 and L5.

I know that nerves that are narrowed can cause a great deal of

pain.

Once I find all this out then I will try to consult a

physiatrist to see what they may have as far as information to

be able to help me put more pieces of my puzzle in place. One

of them to find out if I am dealing with RSD. Which I hope that

I don't.

Kristy
