Dr J said that there was 'nothing left of the disc-no wonder it hurt!' That was it. I never had anything done to the nucleus, only the two lami's. That's why I was wondering if that might have been causing some of my pain, since people have decreased disc height all the time without pain. I was also curious if that was the same thing as an annular tear. Do you know what that looks like on discogram?
