Default So true!

Jack has a point there.
You dont want a disc that can keep you from getting MRI either.
There is a surgeon in Ft. Lauderdale that has scary reviews!
His patient coordinator was like a pushy car salesman. Tried to tell me stuff just to get me there. The disc took away so much bone, that you would have to fuse if it had to be revised.
