Big Ron, Ronnie Coleman hospitalized

News that Ronnie Coleman was hospitalized is spreading rapidly. It’s believed he is in the hospital for a spinal injury, and Coleman awaits the results of a myelogram.

A myelogram uses a special dye (dye test) and X-rays to make pictures of the bones and the fluid space between the bones of the spinal column. A myelogram  is used to check these symptoms:

The cause of arm or leg numbness, weakness, or pain

Narrowing of the spinal canal

 A tumor or infection causing problems with the spinal cord or nerve roots

A spinal disc that has ruptured; herniated disk

Inflammation of the membrane that covers the brain and spinal cord

Problems with the blood vessels to the spine
