Hi am a 35yo gal. Was involved in a minor MVA in Nov 2002. Took a conservative approach for my herniated discs in lower spine. And joint issues in my neck.
Started with Chiropractic. Went on to PT and steroid injections for next year and a half. Sent onto a surgeon who started with a discogram(9-14-04) which showed that my lowest herniated disc had ruptured. He was suggesting a Tlif fusion. I did not want to settle for that. Have since learned I am a canidate for the ADR. My surgeon locally had only begun to learn how to do the ADR. I did not want to be his first.
I am now seeing a surgeon (Schnieder(sp?)) at the University Hospital Utah.
Has anyone had ADR at University Hospital Utah?
I am glad to have found this group. I am appreciating the information. It helps to know that I am not alone.
Hoping for low pain days for everyone.
Katrina :-)
