Hi I am new here - so thankful to find so much information and others suffering as I am - I'm wondering if anyone else has had ADR with Dr. Geck in Austin, Texas at Spine Austin? I am due to have ADR later this month eeks!

Welcome Blessedbyhim33--I like your member name BTW.

Good luck at the end of the month. Personally, I have had experience with the Texas Back Institute and Dr. Richard Guyer. I was incredibly pleased with my treatment there--it is a top-notch operation.

"Discogram of 3 discs OUCH OUCH OUCH GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZ"

I have yet to have a discogram for various reasons. But I'm sure I'll be tested for 3 discs as you were. Everybody I've spoken to whose had the procedure has the same comment as you Laura.

You guys are scaring the heck out of me!

Good Luck with the ADR and keep us posted.

I'm sorry you have to come here as this means you are in pain and life is getting challenging when it should be fun. It sounds like you are on the way to getting fixed and back to enjoying life. Many of us have been where you are at and can help to support you in the process.

Hang in there and ask away. What we don't know we'll help get you to who does.
