Discography is the best teacher for the spine pain medical provider. If only one disc is painful the patient can immediately or later tell if the pain radiates more to the buttock(L5-S1), iliac crest(L4-L5), or above. Patients with the fibromyalgia syndrome of disc origin have the same findings. If pain is from 2 discs more of the 6 points on the fibromyalgia syndrome examination are positive.
