Bocky,
Read your post. Until now, had never heard of a discogram. I had L4-5 fused, along with a laminectomy. Also, had BMP for fusion. November will be 7 years since spinal surgery. I have been in constant pain and take large dose of Oxycontin (60mg. every 6 hrs. and Percocet 7.5 breakthru pain up to 4 times a day). Have never known what it is like to be pain free.

Since I went to a teaching hospital ...Rush Medical Center, Chicago, IL, you would think the latest tests would have been used. My surgeon only used my xrays, ct scans, and MRI for surgery. Wish I had the info in your post then.
