Default disc pain

Dear Annapurna,

Thank you so much for your input about Dr. Zeeger's lecture. It is very enlightening to me. I guess lots of the doctors have not realized this aspect of diagnosis yet. I went to a different doctor in NYC and I was told that my MRI really does not look bad. He told me that he won't be willing to do anything for me since he is not sure. From the image, the level of degeneration is concordant to average people in my age group. (I am 48) He also said that the discogram is not that reliable so that they don't really do many discogram. This doctor works at Hospital of Special Surgery in NYC.

I am going to see Dr. Guyer soon and I have tons of questions for him. After reading some of the failure cases, I am terrified. I will update once I have the consultation with him.

Thank you again for helping me out here.
