Thanx guys.
Getting a Discogram to see if they are gonna do back surgery on me.
A discogram is an enhanced X-ray examination of the intervertebral discs. Dye is injected into the center of the injured disc(s). The dye makes the disc clearly visible on X-ray film and on a fluoroscope (special X-ray TV screen).

Good luck Dave
I know it's hard to not be nervous but do your best to relax and have confidence in the doctors and you'll do fine. I know, it's easier said than done but the less anxiety the better.

Made it, wasn't good. Worse pain I've ever been through. Over an hour of needles in my back. He says I have a ruptured disc so I guess surgery next. Thanx for the good thoughts guys, it helps.  |

I feel for ya.
4 spinal taps when I was 14.Bacterial Meningitis.
And people wonder why I ain't right.Four of the most painful things your body can go through combined with a disease that makes you pray for death.
The 4 taps are what I remember most.I would really prefer to die than have those again.

It sucked, I can barely walk right now. I had 4 epidurals in the last couple years and the $#@! pain didn't come close to this crap. Wife is picking up my meds now, can't wait.  |

Good luck Dave - Do as the Doc says or you will have a head ache like your head is exploding. I had a couple of those done before surgery many years ago. I hope they can operate with the scope, much better results recovering. Good Luck.  |

Has anyone ever heard of a procedure called IDET? It's an experimental procedure that the Doc is reccomending I try before surgery.

if i were you. If they say they are free of pain...go for it. |
