I just had a positive MRI for T11-12 focal herniation with cord impingement. My feet have been numb (worse on right) with neuropathy and have had balance issues since mid Dec.
First ER visit on Sept 29th, CT was normal. Been pushing for a MRI since then and PCP and another doctor wouldn't approve it. They finally referred me to Neuro and that doc was like, I think you herniated a disc.
Now I have a referral for another more detailed MRI, and to a neurosurgeon.

Hi Serenafix
The radiculopathy was confirmed by a neurologist after viewing my MRI of my back, The
neuropathy symptoms started after I had sciatica. The Neurologist referred me to Pain Management. I had the nerve conduction? test as I previously related and he tried an
epidural which didn't help a all. He said there was nothing that could be done except pain manegement.
I have been going to a chiropractor style PT and so far it is getting progressively worse.
so will inquire about the MRN suggested here but don't know if they have that type of
specialist at Cedars here in L.A.
Let you know.
