the pain
What Judy and Mark stated is true re the pain only lasting a second tho if you have something to do right afterwards or have to travel to get home or ?? if you're back is flared up and you have the discogram done it may feel more flared up or it might feel better tho you will probably have a period of time that your back is going to be disgruntled afterwards if you're aleady experiencing pain. Just it won't be that sharp sudden pain that the discogram pressure forces it to (if the disc is concordant for pain).
So still I'd ask about getting something behind the discogram like Marcaine if you're not allergic to it because it's easy enough to be done after the procedure. It's like getting lidocaine in your mouth for dental work (only you'd not get it before the procedure).
Don't stress on the pain part of the discogram..
