Bump to Dale...A little more info would help Mark and the others.

I know the results of my Discogram right away. It was not a picnic. L4-L5 was tolerable and I would have put it at a 6-7 pain level with Perocet inme. L5-S1 was a completely different story. As soon as the pressure and dye went in, I was screaming like a baby... We found the pain indicator (which is still there), but I didn't need anyone to tell me what the results were.

I wish you all the luck in the world as I am finding out very fast that it just plain sucks to lose you way of everyday living. We take so much for granted and then POOF, a reminder that we are not invincible after all.
