Runner,
Sorry to hear the injections didn't work. Mine didn't either. Does it look like you'll have to have another surgery?
As for failed back surgery syndrome, it was explained to me that the surgery didn't reduce the pain significantly (regardless of the procedure). I guess it's a catch all term so the surgeon won't have to shrug his shoulders.
I hope your discogram sheds some positive light on your pain source.
Bob
