Scared,
Before i had the VATS surgery, i had discography to see if the bad discs were causing the pain so i did not have surgery for the wrong problem , or not correcting the pain generator.
I did have positive findings on discography that proved the discs at T7-9 and T11-12 were in fact causing the most pain. I do suggest you make sure before you have surgery.
