Marty, great news that you got unequivocal results from the discography. A 100% negative test is amazing to watch as the doctor can pressurize the disc while the patient is talking and they don't even flinch. A 100% positive is just the opposite. I've held dozens of patient's hands through discography and feeling that total body shudder when they get that 10 of 10 pain at low pressure is a tough thing to get through. It's all worth it as the data is invaluable.
It's much easier to face surgery with strong indications. Wishy-washy test results are difficult to act upon.
All the best... keep us posted... what's the next step.
