| Discogram
Hello all!
I am having a discogram done on Monday as a diagnostic for the back surgery I have scheduled April 16th. Both the neurosurgeon and the anesthesiologist have told me it will be a painful proceedure and that I may require pain meds for a few days afterwards. I have resisted taking pain meds since coming back from a relapse Aug. 15th despite some pretty severe pain (that honestly is wearing me out and causing depression at least a couple of days a week). Thankfully I will be getting sedated during the test. My sponsor is taking me and will be there for support.
Does anyone have experience with this? I am having it done on L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1. The surgery is supposed to be on the last two discs (spinal fusion).
Thank you in advance for your experience, strength and hope!!!
Mary Helen
