Actually, he scheduled the discogram with my pain guy, Dan Richman. He's done my epidurals. Dr Richman is an anesthesiologist turned needle jockey, so I'm hoping he is good at keeping this pain-free. He's also in-network.

He's had the same training as Dr B, but as not-so-distinguished places.
I tried to get a private myelogram and Dr St Louis, who was said to be "the best" wouldn't take my Oxford.
The HSS folk have been.
Had a qi gong healing session yesterday for butt pain, as I'm taking qi gong classes, and thought it would be interesting. It made an immediate difference in the pain.
I have no idea how is, but my take is it's similar to using magnets for pain, but clearly better. Weird that these things can actually work.

Dr Bakshi is actually with Dr. O...so I imagine Dr. O scheduled a visit with him anyway....Dr. B did a discogram...a Spec CT scan...Ct Scan....
