Harrison and Lilly,
I went to an associate of above recommended doctor and he is saying because of the curvature (kyphosis) that ADR is not stable enough and I am not a good candidate. He recommended a bi-level fusion. What are your thoughts?
Lilly,
My case is not a worker comp case. In another thread you stated it won't be covered...is this still true? I must've woken up ten times last night with complete numbness in my arms. I don't think I can live with numbness in all 4 of my limbs until I can pay for it myself. Thoughts?
