- Hi Arthur:
-
- I was hoping that you could give me two bits of information:
-
- First, I have my neurologist's report in front of me, and I am
- having some difficulty in understanding a couple of the terms.
- What is a left L5 radiculopathy, or a left lumbar plexopathy? Also
- what is an "adequately treated disc disease"? Finally, what is an
- acute-chronic denervation in the left extensor digitorum brevis?
-
- Now for some advice/information. I have been scheduled for a
- epidural steroid injection and I would like your opinion on its
- safety and benignness (sp?). I have experience such an
- extraordinary increase in leg pain since my myelogram, that I am a
- little hesitant about allowing any other substance to injected into
- my back.... I am not even too sure where it is going.
-
- Thanks
-
