not sure about the cost, but ihad one done two weeks ago. i'll let you know when the bill comes in. i dont want to scare you but its not a fun procedure. i had horrible headaches for four days after. went back to emergency room on fith day and they explained to me that when they injected the dye in spinal cord they punctured it and when i would stand up the cerebial fluids would leak out which meant my brain wasnt sitting in any fluid and would cause the headaches. they had to do a blood patch to clot the puncture. they take your blood and inject in same spot as the first injection. relief was immediate. it wasnt fun for me but they said it only happens in 20% of patients. hope yours gopes well.by the way my results came back as normal nerve roots all intact. i just dont know how accurate these test are.

I had a myleogram in janaury of 2005 they are pretty acculate in determining a root avulsion alot more than a emg or mri. But it makes u feel like crap for about 48 hours to 96 hours a after the test.
