Discogram is Over!


The Discogram is over. They gave me some Vercet (spelling?) to block my memory and relax me. So, I don't remember much. I do remember the doctor triggering my back pain by the injection though.

I'm not feeling the best tonight. It feels like he did a tap dance on my back. They did give me some Vicodin for the pain. I got some good narcotics after the procedure because it hurt like a booger.

Anyway, I'm done with the test and now he mentioned some new options. Since the other disks are healthy, he mentioned a disk replacement instead of a fusion. We will go to Kansas City again on June 23rd to his office to discuss.

I have 3 options:
  • Live with it
  • Disc replacement
  • Disc fusion

Thanks to everybody for their prayers and I appreciate your support.

What function or disability will you have with the fusion (and the replacement)?
