am a 61 year old slim agile female who has had serious degenerative bulging disk disease at L4-L5 for two years. Had laminectomy - disectomy in August 07. No help. Multitudes of steroid shots - radiofrequency lesioning - braces - hot - cold - pain meds - PT - nothing has helped. Main pain is in my mid lower back left SI joint (starting now on right side). I am a legal secretary and sit all day which aggravates tremendously. My doctor here in Jonesboro, Arkansas has only started doing ADR's and has done 18 to date. Says I am a good candidate. My thoughts naturally are "What again - what if this doesn't work either?" I have so many questions before I actually make my decision - but it has to be this year because of my age. I have never entered a forum but I joined yours yesterday under this e-mail address and my name PolliBibbs. I don't know exactly how to find someone on the forum to talk to about this specific or even how to talk to them. Can you help me please?
