The other day I had an appt with neuro surgeon. In conversation he mentioned that the I should not have felt the " electric" shock sensation.. But he didn't elaborate ... Now I am scheduled for a discogram and am worried what I might feel something that I shouldn't feel during this test!! Did anyone else feel the shock thing during ESI??
Ihad the pain and "shock" but they told me it was a good sign that they got it in the right spot.
