Gman,

Thanks for the advice. I'm following your progress since I'll probably need a M6 at L4-5. SI Joints are not the culprit. Still have to get a facet block at L4-5 to determine how much pain...

Jeff,

Yes, it does make sense. Very scary sense. Here's hoping none of us ever suffer that fate. I plan to mention that kind of infection risk when I consult Clavel, Bierstedt, Lauryssen and...
