I get injections in my lumbar spine for spinal stenosis/DDD/spondylosis (L4L5 level). I never got injections in my neck. A MRI of your cervical spine and assessment of your symptoms and other neurological tests in office can help narrow down if your spinal cord is being affected/compressed/injured and causing your symptoms. I will be getting a thoracic MRI on Sunday to see if I have any issues at that level of my spine (never had this looked at before). I am seeing a new neurologist at the end of April for updated EMG/nerve conduction/nerve mapping testing and to check for MS. I have an appointment in May to see an orthopedic doctor for hip pain (never had MRI of pelvis/hip joints/sacrum) but experience significant pain/weakness in my buttocks/hips/legs and numbness in my left foot when I walk. Not sure if something is pinched. Was told I had radiculopathy in right arm and leg but my pain/numbeds now seems to have moved to my left hip/leg/foot.

Hello dlydaily,

Look into MR Neurogram, you will see what it looks for. Looks for damaged nerves but look it up, Mayo Clinic. John Bishop was so kind sending me a lot of information. I have S.F.N, Sojgren's, Hashimoto's.
My severe nerve pain started after hip surgery, Mayo Clinic, look up Hip surgery and S.F.N. wish I had known that, I would not have had the surgery. Important to know.
