Thanks for the info, I will check out the website when I get time. I remember reading about a test that you have an injection and they scan you or take films while you are up right and can't lay down for about 8 hours afterwards. Is this a discogram?

Bummer, don't forget to ask your Dr about using Klonopin and or Magnesium Oxide for the muscle spasms/cramps, like we discussed before. I also found stretching during the cramp helps.

Good luck

RE: After the epidural
Thanks Vick & AQA

I will ask the doctor about the EMG/NCS. The MRI I had done shows no major back issues and the epidural with fluoscopy showed there are issues with my back. The doctor did say the symptoms I experience usually means a hernation.

If I do any house work the muscle spasms start up. What I feel is the spasms along with weakness.
