Discogram sound out?
Answers: Sounds like you've hear that discograms aren't a bunch of fun - you are right.
I suspect that more than one of the discs show degenerative changes and he requirements to determine which one is really causing your cramp.
This is important because sometimes 2 or 3 discs may look bleak (be "black" on the MRI) but just because they look impossible - that doesn't mean they are cause pain. Injecting the 3 discs of the low rear and finding out if the injection to 1, 2 or all 3 reproduces the aching that you are seeing him for will help him treat the correct rank and avoid treating (perhaps a fusion?) to more levels than you involve. (Fusing even one level can put stress on near levels, so a upright doctor will want to fuse as few levels as necessary)
