Had the discogram. T3-4 caused pain and leaked, T6-7 caused pain but did not leak. This doctor was an even bigger ass than the pain management doctor. He bitched me out for refusing the sedative and then refused to do the levels with the most pain. He said that the approach is different for those levels which is understandable, but he will not make another appointment until I see the referring doctor. He will be on vacation until July 22nd. So I can not even schedule the rest of the discogram until then. I will not make it that long. I desperately need help and I am on the verge of ending this pain myself.
