Right now, it doesn't look like you have any major problems that would immediately prevent a double ADR. This doc may not do them, your insurance may not pay for it, and you might need to head out of the country to get the FDA's fingers out of your treatment protocol but you could get one. I do wonder, though, why he's talking about a double level when you have four affected levels. Surgery may not be indicated for all four but he should be talking about some kind of treatment plan for the ones he's not willing to replace.
