Dale,
Love hearing those of you who like Dr. B. I would liked to have talked to him more often, but realize he is a very busy doc. He called me from Vienna at 10 p.m. the night before my surgery and talked to me for about 15 minutes, told me he wouldn't talk to me before surgery, but would meet with Tom after. When I said goodbye I told him to hurry back to Germany since my surgery was scheduled in the a.m. LOL
My discogram was the day before surgery, no pain. Understandable since the disc had a tear (not totally evident in MRI) so dye when in and out.
