I just wanted to post for other people's reference that I had my myelogram and it was a piece of cake. I never felt a thing after the brief sting from the anesthetic skin injection. The worst part of the experience was having to stay flat for 24 hours, and the apprehension about the possibility of spinal headache. Other than that, it was very easy.
