    • Close Back Pain

      Just had discogram done and found that my two lower disc have tears. The bottom disc is almost wasted, pressure test was 11psi and the 2nd one up was torn with a pressure test of 12 psi. The third one which was normal held 90 psi. My question is, What is the best corse of action now. Reading post from everyone on the web has me scared to death with no direction. I want a fast recovery with permant results. Thats all..:)
