Well I never made it to TBI for the ADR. The pain got so intense I had to get my nuero here to do a L 4-5 micro redo. He said he took out a fairly large chunk of disk and did not think I would ever be a candidate for ADR because my facets are to bad.
I have not one pain in my body except for the scar. I was out of the hospital in less than 24 hours and I feel great.
I was very impressed with Dr. Zeigler and TBI but I could not wait any longer. I was eating pain pills like candy and I drew the line in the sand after I drove myself to ER at 1:00 a.m. Sunday Morning.
I do think we should all get as many opinions as we can about ADR and Facets before going through such a major surgery.
