Becky's abdominal pain was sudden onset in the bladder area. She described it as "a really bad bladder infection" knd of pain. She has not had a C-section or any abdominal surgeries. She is also experienceing Neurogenic Bladder" symptoms. This may or may not be related to the L5-S1 issue. When the Doc did the discogram he did both provocative, which did trigger an increase in abdominal pain, and an analgesic which relieved the pain. Becky was fitted with a lumbar brace yesterday afternoon which did relive the pain somewhat, she describes it as 25-30% relief.
