Can anyone enlighten me on the procedure i had done this past week? I had a 'discogram' done. Now i've had 2 of those before ... one on my thoracic area and one on the lumbar....before my fusion surgery 2 years ago. i'm fused from T4 to S1.... i've had trouble/pain in the area ABOVE T4 recently....My same surgeon who did the work 2 yrs ago had me to return and said i'd have a discogram done to determine where the problem was. Naturally i assumed (i know, i know... never assume) it would be done in the upper thoracic where my pain has been..... surprise, surprise!! when i awoke i was in big pain in my lumbar area! There are 9 punctures beginning at about my waist on the right side and extending downward in a vertical line...
I thought this area was fused! How could they even get a needle into that area of my spine?? I am scheduled to meet with the dr. on Tuesday to discuss his findings.... this should be interesting
