Cy myleo: High sensitivity high specifcificity and it is the only one that matches your symptoms conduction studies are good when neurologic weakness is present subjective , high false negative in early disease lateral herniations are easy to miss on MRI thanks for the question confirm pain generator with diagnostic injection.

Sounds : Like the ct myelogram correlates best with your symptoms and the emg. As such, i would go with that as the most useful imaging procedure in your evaluation.
