FAD or the old fashion kind? I've heard this hurts, but with an FAD they inject an aenesthetic after the test to kill a lot of the pain.

Sorry to butt in; but I am just curious of what the difference is? Just the anesthia? My first discogram, I was awake and had a mild painkiller (which didn't help. I cried like a baby!
). After they did the dye, they sedated me and I went straight to recovery. For the second discogram, I was sedated while they put all the needles into place, I was then woke up for a few minutes while they did the dye. As soon as they finished with the dye, they knocked me out again. I then went to have a CAT scan (which I didn't really understand why they did that? Does anyone know why?) I never knew there was a difference, the dr. said the reason he sedated before and after is because it was cruel to make someone go through that, AMEN! Maybe that idea will catch on.
