Hi CDW, I'm right across the river from you in Fort Lee. I was two weeks away from going to Europe this past March to do two levels in ADR. The surgeon who had done my last cervical fusion and a lumbar one talked me out of ADR. He did a minimally invasive procedure instead. In my case, I was in severe pain, but only for months, not years. I was concerned that I was experiencing the domino effect that previous fusions sometimes have. If you want to send me a PM, I can recommend some surgeons in the area who you might want to consult with for opinions.

Good luck and let me know if you need any suggestions from someone local.
