I had my spine surgeon get a doctor he liked for doing discography. That is why my pm doc fired me, he wanted to earn the money from that test. Some how he blamed it on me trying to get meds early!!! Yes by one day because i was flying out of town .
Anyway the discography is no picnic, but it does go by fast. I remember what seemed like a minute later i was outside with the doc and my husband. His car was parked close to ours and i did not want to scratch the paint. I didn;t know whose it was at the time. He told my husband just to put me on the roof racks. So i guess my screaming did not kill his eardrums!! Actually i was only moaning.
I am still recovering from my long osteotomies (2 in thoracic spine , 1 in neck). I also have one fracture in my lower back, just not sure what level it is at. Possibly T11-12 or T12-l1 But with all the recovering i am still in pretty good shape. I don't need to take pain meds every 4 hours any more. Maybe twice a day. The fracture in the lower back is hopefully the pain generator to my hip. My right hip is replaced, but there is a recall on the cup. Not good news there.
Anyway i am very lucky, i made it through those 2 really tough surgeries and am doing relatively well.
I hope you get your info to a good doctor and get some answers and move on getting rid of this pain. I just knew mine was from thoracic and would be shown by discography.
And i have an excellent doctor that always liistenes to me.
