They got back to me and it seems that it would NOT be fusion!!!!!
she stated that there is no control arm
so the way it sounds is that everyone in the study would be receiving the disc but then again i could be wrong
but my issue now is... that we would not be able to get pregnant for 5 years after the surgery
which is a big concern to me considering i really really really really want to have a baby but then again whats another 5 years if i can get ADR and not have to do fusion!
decisions... decisions...
someone want to make the decision for me???? please!!!!!!!
