How is your sciatica? I'm hoping your surgeon gave you some insight on the cause and, more importantly, a cure.

Hey Bob, my legs are still giving me trouble and by trouble, I mean hell.

I did not have any infection (yet), but have also had seasick vertigo type feelings. I've tried zofran, zantac, and tums. What has worked is benedryl (thank goodness).

Last time I had a lumbar myelogram (april 08) there was no headache or infection but I had to take prednisone to calm down the pain in my nerves.

Phylly, thanks for posting your myelogram experience. It sounds like you are doing well. I'm curious as to what expect in regard to nerve pain after the myelogram... it doesn't sound too bad. I have a certification exam in April and I really need to study without being distracted by leg pain.

Thanks again! BTW, how are you feeling?
