Hi

i am still having many problems with severe back pain, numbness and pain in vaginal/rectum areas and inner left thigh and bladder and bowel probs, have to self cath ect and still no diagnosis as yet. Still sitting with a heat pad wedged into my you know what, really fed up. I got a copy of a letter that the neurologist sent to my gp with ref to my emg test but I haven't seen the neurologist {i need the results from the full spine mri I am having tomorrow first} so I don't know what this means as I haven't spoken to the doc.

{{''this lady's electrophysiology is quite clear in that it shows s1 innovated neurogenic change which is indicative of lumbar pathology'' }}

what does that mean in english please, and does it show there is nerve dammage? I cannot understand why my problems do not relate to the dermotone maps, s1 probs are not the same as the ones I have???? Anyone got any ideas please.

Thank you
bev xx
