Myelogram

To: Doctors
I had a myelogram yesturday. My surgeon says I need to have several cervical discs removed, I also have DDD,& lumbar areas have almost fused by themselves.I have had back pain since 1999. I worked in a printing plant for over 20 yrs.A mans job, I'm female. When they started to tilt the table, I experienced the worst pain in both legs I have ever had, then when the table tilted down towards my head the pain was again the worst I have ever felt in the cervical, shoulders & head areas. I would compare it to child birth. I had had morphine prior to going in the testing room, but, after the doctor saw the xray he ordered more before the test began.Even with 3 different, doses, I still expeienced traumatic pain. I almost passed out,and my tolerance for pain is very, very high.After the tilting was over & they rolled me over on my back the pain susided quickly. Today , I am still a little woozie from the drugs,but no other pain but my normal crevical areas.  What could have caused this traumatic pain? I see my surgeon next week, but I need to know what cuased this,I have had MRI'S and all the other tests needed to help the doctors with my greatest problem area my cervical discs 3/4 of them need to be removed & a cage built up in that area.  Thank You for your wisdom Doctor, Leslie Meadows
