Rein, thanks for that explanation. I wasn't looking for this topic but just stumbled across it as I'm new here. I had a discogram 2 1/2 weeks ago and it was EXCRUCIATING! However, I felt great for the next 2 weeks. I thought I was crazy and that it was a figment of my imagination! Unfortunately, the last few days my "normal" pain coming back more and more
 . Darn.

I felt better after mine (other than the massive spinal headache) in 2003 for 2-3 weeks -- the extra inflation took some pressure of the affected nerves. The discogram was positive for L5-S1, so it was a "double validation" of sorts. Glad that you got some good news -- congrats!
