And of course the sad thing about this is that docs often want to do discograms in the hope of finding the pain generator. This was the case for me with respect to my L4-5 and L5-S1. The former was shifted to the rear, a real spondy, and the latter was about gone. Foolishly I agreed to the disco. Result.....inconclusive. I still have pain down both legs and haven't made a decision on the next step, since like everyone else here, I can't get any two docs to agree to anything.
