Hi jbr. How was your myelogram? I have heard horror stories about that procedure.

What type of surgery will you be having on your neck? Fusion, laminoplasty?

The myelogram was easier than an MRI for me because I am claustrophobic. I used to get shots every 3 months for pain so needles don't bother me. However it was no picnic in the park either. Not sure what they are doing in the neck but I think they mentioned a plate in there. I will be wearing a neck brace for 6 weeks afterwards. Complete recovery and strength may not return for over a year.
