Thanks. I'll keep you posted.
Candy, good luck this Saturday! Hope the Ativan helps!

I had a full spine MRI done before I was Dx. I guess they wanted to see if there was any reason for any of the symptoms I was having at that time. And there wasn't. I have problems staying still at time and having a MRI that long would be difficult.
take care and let us know when you get the results.

Hi to you, I am going for the very same MRI as you just had done. I go on Saturday, and I am also worried about it. I have to take Ativan, and that does help, but I am also concerned about the numbness, and the irratic muslce movements that I have sometimes. I hope the Ativan will help with that.
I did have a lumbar puncture last year, and it was OK, but they want to do the whole spine and brain, and with contrast too, they told me about 90 minutes..... YIKES !!!
H0pe you get good results from it,
Praying for you,
Candy
I'm guessing he ordered the lumbar b/c of all the nerve pain I'm having. I'm not really sure, but just hoping it provides some answers.
Anyone know what would cause my arms and legs to go dead?
I didn't have lumbar either. They only did an MRI of my cervical and thoracic spine.
You had your lumbar done, huh? I wonder why - there's no spinal cord in the lumbar, just a bundle of nerves (typically called the cauda equina.)
I have a lot of back pain, but I don't get numb from laying on my back, thankfully.
