Guest guest Posted May 18, 2006 Report Share Posted May 18, 2006 The discogram does both...recreates the pain AND looks for dye leaks. I think the mylogram just looks for leaks and you can be totally under for that one as there is no recreation of pain attempted. I have never had an absessed tooth, but have given birth 5 times...I think I would rather give birth again to all 5 on the same day then to go thru another discogram. Just tell your doctor to be standing by with something that is strong and fast for afterwards. <poundpuppy5@...> wrote: im confused as well ..i heard the disco gram was to recreate pain also ..but my doc was sayin ..although i didnt quiz him well ...he was sayin ..that he was looking for the dispersal of dye for leak or w/e ..i hope theres 2 different kinds of disco grams ..i want the one that looks at dye as opposed to scream when it hurts ,,,and lol that doesnt seem too scientific..he may have just left that part out ...i had a abcessed tooth ...i hear its worse than that ..God i hope not..
