A myelogram would not "prove" the absense of peripheral neuropathy. All it shows is any gross damage to, or impingement on, the spinal cord. Neuropathies can be caused by any damage to the nervous system, anywhere along the way from the brain to the location of the pain. Just pressure on a nerve in the leg can cause a neuropathy below that in the same leg. -vance BTW, is this celiac humor? :) The 10th runner up of this year's Bulwer Lytton contest (run by the English Dept of San Jose State University), wherein one writes only the first line of a bad novel, was: "As a scientist, Throckmorton knew that if he were ever to break wind in the echo chamber he would never hear the end of it."
