Several questions of the community

[Lauren]

Good Morning! This place is a phenomenal source of information. Thank you to each and every one of you. I had 3 level ADR with Dr. Bertagnoli nearly 6 weeks ago and am doing very well but for a semi-paralyzed left arm. I'm working with that and in the meantime, my neck is doing really well. After years of myelopathy, surgery, recovery, more myelopathy, ADR and more recovery, things are really looking up. I have a few questions - how long before I can begin to really push myself, physically. I still have some swelling in the spinal cord, so the real question is how long does it take for that swelling to go down?
The other subject is that my insurance has denied my claim and has informed me that in the appeal it would behoove me to include studies and histories of patients who have had long term success with multi-level ADR. Can anyone direct me to sources for this information? I've been unable to find it so far.
I am also wondering if anyone knows of pysicians here in the states who do multi-level ADR?
Any information and/or success/failure I collect/experience in regards to my insurance claim will be shared here.
Thanks very much for your help. I look forward to connecting with you.
