Pain and lost nerve
Yea I waited for the pain to 'subside' and I now have Permanent LOSS, of the upper leg sensation.
I fought the insurance for a YEAR, and now I am recovering, AFTER, I made the desicion to have ADR.
See my signature, I ended up with a 'hybrid'.
I do have distraction, but getting all the motion back, a little weakness in the left, mostly, but getting some aqua therapy, and I will take anything I can get, as far as the sensation in the toes and movement.
Me, Personally, I would not wait, if you have the option, go to Europe and get the later discs, like the Freedom or the M6.
I was off pain meds in about 9 days.
