thoracic spine surgery

[newhere]

I did have 3 mri allready,and it says small herniation at t6 t7. I think i will have to go to discography. Weird thing is that i have pain above herniation,so im confused

[jsewell]

Remember Newhere, MRI did not tell my story at all. doctors looked at it and said nothing was really bad enough to cause pain. but after i finally recovered from that horrible surgery (with the accident) i am pain free in that area.
I'd say go for the discography with a good doctor.

Wow...at least one mum understand me well
I realy hope discogram will say something.
It was for my lumbal area. MRI showed nothing special,but discography at l4 l5 did.
I realy wish for all of us,that this crap stops,cuz is living nightmare.
P.S. jeff im crossing fingers for you

[jsewell]

Newhere i especially hope it stops for you, you are too young to be dealing with this.
Jeff hope you find a good surgeon. One who really cares about his patients.

when they do the discogram, they should also do a ct scan with the dye in your disc; this will present a clear picture for your doctor

[newhere]

did u have concordant(your usual pain)? i mean when they inject contrast did you feel your daily usual pain? tnx

[jsewell]

I also had the ct scan afterward. I felt pain a lot worse than my normal pain, the same thing but so much worse, i cried it hurt so bad for a short time though. It was the correct disc though, because after it was gone a few months so was my pain in that area.
