Mark,
I was one of the patients that was so frazzled by the first disc tested, I said it was a 20 out of 10, that i was not able to give accurate results for the remaining discs. I knew exactly what you meant by that sentence.

Default re screaming..

ArmyWife..
Had to laugh there re the F word... I said it with each discogram.. I remember screaming STOOOPPPPPPP during the 2nd one. My L5S1 wasn't tested the 1st disco cuz the Ortho thought it was so bad he didn't want to aggravate it.. the next 2 discos they tested it.. it was the last disc tested and a 10/10. I think the procedure rooms were far away from waiting area so people can scream.. now that is good planning.

A few weeks back was in my podiatrist's office for post surgical bunionectomy check and she bent my toe backwards .. I let out a serious YELP and she was sort of flustered because the waiting room is right outside the exam room... I was NOT apologetic!!!!
