So my story started several years ago. I've always had back pain, but just chalked it up to aging. I started a fitness class and while doing jumping jacks, I had a burning sensation in my foot and lower back and pain running down my butt to knee. Fast forward after countless therapy, injections and chiropractor appointments, I have DDD and sciatica. I have a wonderful neurosurgeon who feels I would be a good candidate for ADR, but insurance has fought me. They approved a fusion, but I fought for the adr and finally after 5 months, they have approved it! I haven't scheduled it yet for fear that I'm not in enough pain for it. I'm just worried about the recovery and seeing so little on this scared me. Can anyone shed some light on this? I'm 42 and active (well, was active) and don't want to be miserable!
