New - no surgery yet
Not sure if this is correct site since no doctors have recommended ADR, but from reading several posts, I liked the comments given.
Have seen 3 docs - two want to do open surgery with laminotomy at 3 levels and fusion L4L5 and one says decompression at L3L4 and L4L5 with Coflex at the two levels.
I would like to only have surgery for the worst level L4L5 and wait and see for the others. It is better to do minimum and then have another surgery later? Or have one large surgery? Thanks.
