had my myelogram done yesterday!!!!

has anyone ever had a myelogram done???

a myelogram is where they deaden your spine, inject a friggin needle until it goes into the spine, and they fill it full of dye, and do cat scans on you to see any problems you have more clearly!

i had mine done yesterday............and im gonna go ahead and say........its pure friggin torture!!! that shit hurt like a mofo!!! and you can get a killer migraine from it.....ask me how i know!!!

the best part is when that inject demirol!!!! thats some good stuff there!!
this is one test that i'll never do again!!

 

oh shit. you made me quiver in my seat. I hate needles.

 

so lemme get this straigh, they numb your spine, then they inject dye? When in the process do they give you the demorol?

 

myelogram or myelography is a type of xray they use to look at the bones in your spine and the spaces in between the bones hence the dye they inject i feel for you tm it can be a painful procedure i hope u drank plenty of fluids afterwards to flush the dye out of your system( not beer lol) hope u feel better soon

 

Ouch Dood- I don't mind needles at all- but that sounds miserable.
Rest up and feel better.

 

damn it man.... that sucks... demerol ok....

 

that sounds like a big fat ouch! Needles, spine, dye all in the same sentance. Hope you are feeling better from all that or at least they have a direction they'll go. Surgery still on?

 

Hell no ,Knock my ass out. Glad for you it's over.Rest up man.

 

I agree. Give me something to knock me out then stick me. I need another beer after reading that one.

 

thank you nursey

 

damn Will will i hope you get back to normal soon. but dont rush it

 

when i was in utter pain...i got the demerol!!! i needed that shit man!!

 

as far as i know....surgery is still on, but im not sure when!!

 

yeah, i drank fluids, but probably not enough. i mostly drank gatorade and coke, no beer, lol!!!

 

Demerol is the best!....I hope you didn't forget to tell them you're resistant to the stuff so you need a lot for it to work

Just the thought of someone sticking a needle in my spine gives me the shivers

 

yeah......demerol is really good. but then again, the pain from the myelogram was pretty damn high, so im glad they brought in the demerol.

the messed up thing is that when they were putting the needle in my spine.....they tried injecting it about 5 or 6 times before they hit the right spot........right in all the tendons. damn i hate that feeling!!!

 

yer welcome

 

Why aren't there more ladies on this thread boasting about their epidurals?

Anyhow, hope all is well with you Tman.

 

Yep.. I had the myelogram procedure done four times times so far! The first time they performed this mid evil test, they told me at the of the end of my torture session that the negatives of my test results were all too foggy because they injected to much dye into my spine. I had to come back the following week & redo the test. Since then, I was asked to participate two other times.

 

Dude I feel for ya .
I just had a epidural for a bad disk in my back .
They inject steroids right next to the spinel shealth and it was very painful .
Worst part was when the doc asked the xray tech to adjust the machine as he kept hitting the bone
