I had and still have (I beleive) the same problem, much more damage then was evident on the MRI and totally understated by the radiologist. It was clearly shown in my lumbar surgery. It is possible to have disc fragments that conot be seen on the MRI causing pain. A myleogram has a risk of infection and the european Dr's will do them before the americans will but at the same time the general consensus is if the rght Dr. reads the MRI for disk problems one should not nead a myleo, unless a MRI can't be made due to hardware already implanted. You really should only have this test if absolutely nessesary so it will be hard to convince a dr. to just order it. I wish you could go to europe. i know if Bertagnoly in Germany saw a need for a myleogram you would be having one the nest day. Ditto on discograms.
