Hi Maria,
I think a main issue was that both the sedative (versed) and pain killer (fentanyl) they injected did not work. They even tried 3 times. They also injected steroids, but that also was excruciating, so I screamed for him to stop. What were the findings of your discograms? Do you remember? Also, have you had surgery? Thanks for your reply!

The 3rd time I had an ESI (epidural steroid injection) done after the discogram so that was even less pain and longer duration of relief!
My discograms were 3 levels...
