Harrison, would the Freedom Disc be considered keeled? They claim "no excessive milling" but I don't know if it is keeled or not. I think its keeled but less so than the M6.

Ive tried inversion, traction, and TENS. Nothing made a noticeable difference. I wish you best of luck with your surgery, it sounds like your on the right track.

Mary, if I were you this would support my decision to get ADR. If the stem cell therapy worked and fixed surrounding structures, that is good for an ADR. If you had pain coming from elsewhere which...

If you are symptom free right now I would certainly wait. The risk is high with all spinal surgeries no matter the disc or surgeon. Many people have bulges that don't cause any pain or disability.

No not yet. I think I will though. I'm pretty sure I want to do the freedom disc with Dr. Rischke. It makes me a little nervous that its much newer (no long term results at all) and I haven't seen...

Approved 14k with a cosigner, 20k with a coapplicant. If I get the loan I still need to find 13k somehow, and a coapplicant to begin with. I'll see what I can do!

Kimmers,

Thank you for the advice. I agree to a point; I think the surgeon of course matters a lot, and maybe if I was 20 years older I would be far less concerned about the disc, but I think the...
