I have had an MRI, EEG (which showed a problem with the nerve), two steroid injections (neither worked), CT Myelogram (which showed inflammation of the
nerve), another MRI (this time with contrast, which also showed
nerve inflammation). The Neurosurgeon that I am seeing is telling me he's see's no reason for the inflammation, I have DDD and a mild bulging disc but it's not touching the nerve. He is telling me there's nothing he can do to help me.
