Just had Me a Myleogram Yesterday..

Boy was that fun!We went for a CT scan(We thought)appointment yesterday,and were told to get prepped.Didn't realize that I was getting a needle in My spinal column and dye injected,what fun!I found it very uncomfortable and the hour long ride home was a killer...I still freakin' hurt,Anyone else had one,and what was Your experience?
Ryan

Don't think I ever want that done to me, does not sound fun. I hope you stop hurting soon.

What does one need to have this done for?

My wife had a needle in her spine for the block during delivery. Said it hurt like hell and was sore for a couple of weeks.

Hope the results are good news for you.

Timmy,
My Lower back is shot.I have been in extreme pain and if I stay in one position long enough I lose all feeling to My legs.Walking has become difficult.This procedure injects dye in so that They can find nerve blockages.IT SUCKS(but so does losing mobility)!

Chiropractor?

Ryan, was there something that happened to cause a back problem or is it congenital? Back problems SUCK. I can't remember if you talked about this on the old forum or not.

mostly congenital(sway back)but lots of injuries didn't help.The worst part is the cycle,My back goes out,activity slows,fat grows=More pain and accelerate disks thinning and nerve damage.I usually hold around 280,which is fat even on My 6'03" frame,but Yesterday I whaled in at 304!
