Discogram tip

[mmglobal]

If you are going for a discogram (or similar test... diagnostic injections, etc...), you should make sure that you should ask your doctor about taking your meds before the test. If you take a ton of meds, she may not want you on so much before the test. He may want you to take your meds normally.

I've seen people who assume that they should not take their meds before discography so they don't pollute their test. For some of us, missing our meds has the potential of setting us off so severely that we'll be overly pain sensitive... and that will harm the test results too.

This should be a conscious decision on the part of the doctor administering the test. Make no assumptions here.

I hope this helps.
