Hi all you helpful people. I haven’t been working at my RN job since 12/10 due to LBP and I think I’m ready for a 2-level ADR at TBI. I went there for a consult last month, and Dr. Guyer said to come back when my problems start happening every month. Unlike every other time my back has gone out in the past, it hasn’t gotten better. In fact, it seems to be getting worse - and fast. More intense burning on the bottom of my foot, more painful aching in my SI joint radiating out to my hip, and less tolerance for any sitting. So I just emailed TBI yesterday to let him know that I’m desperate enough now (or crazy enough??). The posts I’ve read here have been a very big help. My neurosurgeon in my own city doesn’t think any lumbar ADRs should be done. The conflicting opinions have been a bit bewildering. I like reading opinions from people who’ve actually done it.

I’ll keep you all informed as I begin this process!
