EMG With Dr Gordon, Toronto

[Chex]

I go back to see Dr. Gordon on the 20th. I will get the results of the mri and I go to see dr. Peng for a consultation about the block. I had tried the diazapam suppositories Dr. gordon prescribed. They seemed to help a little but you are supposed to put them in at bedtime. I need something ofr the evenings so I can perhaps sit and watch some tv. I tried it but it was pretty leaky and messy. It did seem to help somewhat I think. Only thing is that thye gave me a yeast infection.

since having the yeast infection, I have stopped my daily physio homework. Stopping the physio seems to actully make things feel better but they keep telling me it could be worse before it gets better. Argh!! I hate the physio homework!!!! It hurts

I'd gone back to Dr Gordon in early March, and he went over my results. Seems the MRI tech didn't use the protocols he needed in order for Dr G to see what he wanted to. My EMG results showed normal reaction times on the right side, but slightly delayed reaction times on the left, so I suppose that's where my impairment comes from.

I'm going for an MRV next week to see if my problems are related to my pelvic veins. I really don't know what would be next after this. Dr G is also including me in a general PGAD study he got permission to re-open, and should he get enough participants, he wants to include me in a botox study in about 6-9 months' time.

DES, that's unfortunate about the MRI. Are they going to redo it?

I really don't know if they will or not. I suppose I'll find out or ask once I've had the MRV on Wednesday. Guess it depends on what that shows them. It's so expensive to have an MRI, I don't know that they'll just offer up another one, but I'd like to know what's causing my problem..

Good luck with the MRV, DES. Hope it goes well for you and gives you some answers.
