Hello Boxer, I would have replied sooner but I am traveling and just saw you comments. I am seeing a physiatrist from HSS who has prescribed Gabapentin and physical therapy. The first session of PT made me feel worse for the rest of the day, but the Gabapentin seems to help a bit. Dr Clavel's office wrote back indicating that he would like to try a 2 level ADR, but if, during the the surgery, the ADR did not seem appropriate, he would do a fusion.
I am not really comfortable with the idea of finding out after the surgery what procedure was actually done on me. So I asked for some additional feedback. I read that some people have had Skype calls with Dr Clavel but they have not offered this to me yet.
I will Google the name of Dr Zeegers and see if I can find him. Thank you for the feedback. Mike
