Hi Jennifer,

I am still being worked up by the NM Doctor. MRI, CT and possibly lumbar puncture depending on what the MRI shows. She is looking to see if its compression or inflammation. It’s polyradiculopathy and the year before I was told it was in my back and lumbo sacral regular Radiculopathy. She didn’t test the arm and only did one leg. I changed doctors. I think I will get answers from her. My current dr could not comment on therapies until the other tests come in. I was jumping the gun after the EMG. Asking questions she could not yet answer. Thank you. I suppose if it is a condition causing the inflammation we shall see. For polyradiculopathy there was not a whole lot of info except some that said it was caused my a demyelination of the nerves. Another said Guillian Bare Syndrome. I am not sure this is degeneration but the MRI should show something. Last mri from august of last year showed multiple areas of concern but degeneration at L5 and they found autoimmune psoriatic arthritis in sacrum. So, that might correspond with the S1 radiculopathy. Not sure. I will let you know what the mri shows and what the doctor says next steps are. Last mri of lumbar did not include contrast. This one will.
