View Full Version : Translate my Discogram (Neck)

Had a discogram and CT on Friday. Pressurizing the discs didn't cause any pain (apparently, as I don't remember anything). The paperwork they gave me afterwards said that I responded "0 out of 10" on all three discs. But it did give them a better look at the "architecture". Followup with the dr. is on Wednesday...but in the meantime, can anyone help translate?

C4/5: Mild bulge
C5/6: Lateral leak, annular tear
C6/7: Mild bulge, Lt. post lat. annular tear

So obviously there's some issues with the discs -- but since the discogram didn't reproduce my pain, does that mean that they're not the cause of my pain? I had an EMG a few weeks ago and it found no pinched nerve.

Thoughts?
