at your age and 2 levels.... ADR or hybrid really is your best bet IF you are a candidate.

have you sought the opinion of an ADR surgeon? do you have the resources to pursue overseas surgery?

i had no good option here - due to metal issues, device concerns, unresolved question of an SI joint issue, and an insurance that would only cover US ADR, not fusion. i have a pending MVA suit, but i had to proceed w/o any assurance that i would get a dime from that. i borrowed $$ from family and went to Spain, and everything has worked out quite well so far. return to work on Wed...
