re herniation
Gil,
I had started my original post to you with the same thought in mind that Dale mentioned re not having another discectomy or at least not at the same level. I just think they're basically a prelim to more spine surgeries and or bigger surgeries down the road and maybe very shortly down the road.
Perhaps techniques have improved alot since my last discectomy so perhaps I'm being unfair or just stupid to say what I did tho I do think that my spine became far less stable after the 2nd level discectomy and set me up for further bigger surgeries which may have all been inevitable anyway.
I've had 3 discograms and I don't think they further harmed the levels injected however I had them done between 2001 and 2006. Two of them were done a year apart.
Again.. more opinions, consultations with highly reputable outstanding spine surgeons is my advice.
