Hi, sorry you are here, but thanks for posting. Just to clarify, multilevel disc replacement has been available in the United States for many years, it just may be that those posts are buried under the weight of topics (from the last few years) from people going oversees.
This is very transient community. Some people don't have good outcomes and they stick around for support. Most
seem to do well and move on with their lives. Others just stop posting for various reasons. In case you have not seen my presentation to SAS members a few years ago, I present ADR surgical outcome results from this community:

Back to the audience and patients that post here. Please see:
Important Reminder Regarding This Discussion Board

To what event or process do you attribute your multlevel disc degeneration? This is an obvious but important question, since DDD is generally thought to have multifactorial causes, like trauma, disease, occupation, diet, etc.
Hope we can help!
