The reason I suggest the psych is that he will clearly see that this is hooey and set the record straight once and for all. Once a doc has raised this spectre of conversion reaction, others may use it to avoid thinking also.
What a dufus!

I'm no doctor like Quix, but I second what she says. Amy
While it is appropriate to discuss the psychological side of things, it sounds like this guy is manipulating the data to fit his preconceived diagnosis. This is dangerous. It's exactly what the idiots at NIH did to Craig when he didn't fit their first diagnosis. He is saying this is a conversion reaction. Before I had a myelogram, I'd see a well respected psychiatrist (who all are certified in Neurology and Psychiatry) maybe one affiliated with a Neurology department.
A Myelogram is a pretty invasive, not without its risks, and often painful procedure, I believe. Before I did that I would seek another opinion, like from a good neurosurgeon.
How does he explain your cognitive issues and ???fatigue. I'm sorry, I don't remember all your details, but you have much more going on than your legs, no?
I'm getting red flags about this guy - BIG TIME.
imnsho - Quix
A MYELOGRAM WILL SHOW IF THERES ANY NERVE ROOT IMPINGEMENT OR CUT OFF.
THE CONTRASTING DYE WILL SHOW THIS ON A CT SCAN.
IS THE NEURO DOING IT IN THE NECK OR THORACIC.
I'VE HAD SEVERAL LUMBAR MYELOGRAMS,SAME RULES APPLY AS IF YOU WERE HAVE A LP,BUT THIS WILL BE FLORASCOPIC
