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.
