kk -- I think almost everyone gets a discogram prior to ADR -- it provides a roadmap for surgery.
The more I read and chat back and forth with you, the more I am concerned -- you shouldn't be confused about what you have. Get into Dr. Bajwa -- he is smart, easy to talk to, and compassionate. Considering he is so close, it would be a shame not to.
No kidney risk that I've ever heard of, but I'm not an expert there. SG
