I've had 3 lumbar discographies and 1 cervical discography (for a total of 11 levels, I believe)
I've been present for about 50 client's discographies.
Didn't we learn in the 70's.... DISCO SUCKS!
It's a necessary evil and there are some limitations and a chance for ambiguous or incorrect results. However, in most cases it adds useful information. If you need it, get it. I recommend that people only get discography if they are prepared to act on the results. If you are not ready for surgery, why find out now???? the situation may change.
All the best,
Mark
