Newbie with questions
Hi, My doctor has suggested to get an ADR ProDisc for L3-L4.
It seems alot of you have gone to Germany. I will be getting mine done here in the States. Who have you heard that is good here in the U.S.? My doctor said he was going to send me to Colorado. He said he knew some of the best doctors here in the states that are doing this on a daily basis. I have been dealing with the pain for 3yrs now! I've only had the diagnosis since January. I am to a point to where I can't stand/walk long at all without severe pain. My discogram made it worse especially the leg pain. How long am I looking at being out of work? My work mainly consists of driving, walking around and bending over and sometimes lifting things. After walking for an hour at work today I am done in severe pain and at home on couch.

Welcome DaddyO
There are precisely 1.5 gazillion spine doctors in this country that perform ADR. Hundreds have been doing so since 2000. We can catch up by PM or email next week if you'd like.
Have you seen this 1st topic in this forum yet? Please read it 1.5 gazillion times...
