CT myelogram?: EMG/NCS is probably one of the top tests to discover what's going on. Sorry it's taking this long to get things squared away. A CT MYELOGRAM can often times show things regarding nerve root compression that an MRI will never show and so that's another imaging modality that could be useful. But you'll also need a SOLID NEUROLOGICAL EXAM as well. More questions? www.healthtap.com/drsaghafi
