Spinal Discogram?
Hubby is having a discogram tomorrow. Know pretty much what the procedure entails, however, the doctors nurse said that he had to take it easy for about 3 days, no lifting, limited bending etc. Has anyone hand one of these? If so what can he expect afterwards? thanks

Yes, I had it done. The pain during the test was horrible. They are actually trying to mimick the pain you are feeling to determine which disk (if any) are causing the pain. So, there are usually no pain killers given, but some times a local anesthetic will be used. After the procedure they gave me pain killers and some meds to relax, so I was out like a light. But, they are injecting dye into your back and the added pressure can cause pain for a couple days after the procedure until it is absorbed by the body. I had no pain the second day and was able to function like normal but I tokk it easy just in case. Good luck with the procedure.
