This is the needle and the dye going into my spinal canal. See how the die gets brighter towards the bottom? That's because the dye is stopping there. The blockage is so severe, they couldn't even get the die to go down any further. From my myelogram and ct scan.

And there is no space between those 2 vertebrae? It's not supposed to be like that.  I met with my Pain Specialist t
