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.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

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. |

I feel your pain LITERALLY !!!
Went through herniated disc several years ago. i ended up getting cut open to "trim" the disc. All went well though, recovery time was only a couple of weeks. Now I only have slight pain now and then and usually only when I have to sit too long.
But worth it, the pain was so bad, a bullet was nearly an option.
I wish you luck, they can do amazing things, you should be better. NO you will be better....
