Interesting. I don't believe that they did a CT scan for me. All I recall was being in immense pain, finishing the prodcedure, and then getting some good drugs via IV to calm me down.

I guess I could talk to my Orthopedic Surgeon to confirm, but at the top of my Operative Report, it says:

"Operation(s) performed: Fluoroscopic-guided, contrast confirmed provocative discogram at the L3-4, L4-5, and L5-S1 levels"

Edit: This should be interesting. Neurosurgeon's office said that I should bring discogram films and CT films, yet Orthopedic Surgeon's office said that they didn't do any discogram or CT films to begin with. See what happen on 3-May, I guess.

Edit Edit: I hate to belabor a point, but how can the written report say:

"The provocative potion of the test was then administered with the above findings. Radiographic images were then obtained."

and this not mean that they have some sort of images in my file from the discogram?
