Update: (1/26/11)
The discogram had very clear cut results, I have 2 discs that need to be replaced, 1 is fully herniated, and the other is severely torn, both of which are causing excruciating pain. The doc wants to do a 2 level disc replacement, if we can get the 2 level approved, otherwise I'll be having 1 disc replaced, and one fused. The herniated disc is at C4-5, and the severely torn disc is at C5-6. The surgery dat is to be determined, but I told the doc that i wanted it done ASAP, hopefully it'll be done sometime in the next 2 weeks.

Hope you get it taken care of man...is he having to get it approved through your insurance? If so, that really sucks that doctors have to get approval from you insurance company to help you out...

Update (2/12/11): Well last week I found out that my health insurance denied coverage on a disc replacement, asked the drs. office to push it back through as medically necessary, and Ive yet to hear any word. Everything is sort of in limbo right now. Ill update as I find out more.
