Default Having ADR done on 7/27/10

My wife found this clinical trial XL TDR® eXtreme Lateral Total Disc Replacement for the Treatment of Lumbar Degenerative Disc Disease (DDD) - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov

My insurance would not cover an ADR. So my wife found this clinical trial.

I'm scared and excited all at the same time, as for a little while there I thought I was going to have to get a fusion and I really didn't want a fusion.

I will tell my story in the surgical outcome forum afterwards or I will have my wife get on here and tell you.

Best wishes moving forward. Where are you located, or where do you plan to have surgery ?
