discogram

[wilber1959]

I had a L5-S1 fusion in March now they want to do a disco gram because my pain is worse now.If the disco gram is positive what are my options and should I also have a CT Mylogram?

Hi,
Myelogram is an invasive imaging study.
This is done through plain x-rays and also in CT and MRI(both  contrast)
Conventional myelogram is the one wherein u inject the dye and the dye delineates the nerve roots along the entire length of spine.

I have had 3 MRIs 2 CT scans they are only as good as who reads it. What do you know about the mylogram. I looked at information on the discogram and everything I researched said the discogram should be done before a fusion. what is your thought on this?

hi,
feel sorry about the condition.
It would do you good to have the discogram done. and later if possible MRI spine which should depend on the test reports. MRI would help in delineating the spinal nerves also
