I notice you list that you have a really low vitamin D levels. May I ask what you are doing to raise your levels?
Btw, I also have DDD and osteoarthritis. My rheumatologist also supports the ADR over the fusion from his perspective. I just want to go into this really informed and educated.
Like most on this Forum, I live with daily pain. No whines, just reality.
