Idot doctors tht don't know how to do it right
Yes I've had the worst pain I've ever had when a discogram was done at Methodist Hospital in Dallas Tx. Someone said a 20 out of 10 and I agree.
With that said, I had another one done which I had to be convinced was worth while & was not close in pain.
The doctor does not need to 'over pressurize' the disc to the point you scream like never before & keep it that way for a 'prolonged period'.
All that needs to be done is to add pressure if/until it causes a pain response. They can withdraw the fluid instantly and the pain goes away immeadiately.
SO PLEASE, don't be afraid of the test, make sure you talk/demand of your doctor how the test should be performed.
