Marty,
Just want to let you know that I was so fearful of my discogram in Germany, it pretty much overshadowed all my other concerns. I previously had one in L.A. but with anesthesia and really don't remember the pain. However, like you, I heard those without anesthesia hurt beyond belief.
First, while a 10 pain is true, it last for less than a second and by the time your feeling the pain, it's already over. So if your discogram is going to be performed without anesthesia, your pain will last for a moment, not hours. Fear not!
