Thank you again 2Confused,

Sure enough, all that time and the VA will only consider a fusion, two weeks in a bed and 3 months with a brace.

They say it is not recommended, and are seeing more failures?

Not to say the Charite and ProDisc are NOT working, but I have talked to a few and these are tearing up their facet joints.

I had another MRI, in mid Jan, and the report from the person doing the eval of the MRI, said I had significant deterioration of the facet joints, and I have only had decompression surgery.

There are MANY people that have the M6, and are doing real well.

If anyone knows someone that has the M6, (especially in the Lumbar, in my case) and have had an MRI post op, a couple of years later, let me know if they have nn improvement in the adjoining areas, or at least not worsening.

I submitted my BC international claim this week and suspect I will get the Usual response, investigational.

Will post as I can.
