Hey Bob,
They did the 'ole hand grenade in the gut trick, eh? This is what I was worried about...good thing you have the slinky spine, as most people don't survive such trauma.
I know a couple of guys from south Philly that could pay those two guys a visit...

No. "We don't tell patients about the pain. If we did, most of them wouldn't agree to the test."
The injection of the dye was uneventful and not really uncomfortable. However, when I was turned over onto my back, the hand grenade they secretly inserted in my abdomen exploded. Burning pain began there and ran down both legs. They finally gave me 10mg Percocet after the CT scan.
I think, and my Pain Management Dr agrees the myleogram intensified the pain by irritating the damaged nerve roots.
I remember what the two guys look like and I know where they work..........
