aussi,

What a bad situation to be in.

Many a patient has come out of surgery with a perfectly placed ADR, but had the same pain because it was done at a level other than the one that was causing the pain. No one wants that for you. Were it me I would be as sure as is possible that the correct level were being addressed before scheduling surgery.

Before my last surgery I had six opinions, all agreeing on the levels that needed to be addressed; five of which agreed on the procedure that needed to be done. You probably don't need six opinions, but I'd be concerned that the two that I had disagreed.

Good luck, Jeff
