Does discography damage the discs?

[melodyl]

Prior to my cervical ADR surgery, a PM dr. I was seeing suggested I should have a discography. My surgeon (Dr. Chapman UWMC) was VERY opposed to the idea. When I told the PM dr. that my surgeon didn't want me to have a discography, the PM dr. told me that surgery was Chapman's specialty but discography (and other injections) were his specialty. He went on to say that he wouldn't tell Chapman how to perform surgery and Chapman shouldn't tell him.......

Anyway....my point is only that there is obvioulsy a lot of controversy about the procedure.

I went with the advice of my surgeon and everything turned out fine. However....lots of people have had the procedure and were happy they did. Everyone has to educate themselves as best they can...or find a professional they trust and listen to him/her.
