I think... (I'm not a doctor, yada, yada, yada)... that for most of us, the meds we take will not impact the discogram results. Super high doses may be more likely to combine with what they give you to inhibit your pain responses.
If not taking your meds, then the disco being pushed late in the day has you so flared up that you are overly pain sensitive... that can also contribute to false positives or being so pain sensitive that the test results will be in question.
The point of my post is that we should not make these decisions at all!!!! Call your doctors office... tell them what meds you are on and ask them how you should take them in the hours prior to your disco.
This is a decision for your doctor to make and we should make no assumptions at all.
Let us know how your disco goes... I hope you get an unambiguous result and that the news is good.
