What exactly are they expecting to do ? What levels of repair are they looking at?
Are you still seeing the docs in NYC or someone else ?

Hi Toebin,
Thank you for the welcome back!
I have a facet block scheduled for Monday, Jan. 5th. Depending on the result of the block, that will determine if I have a fusion or ADR at L5/S1.
I am still seeing docs in NYC as I have given up on docs in my area.
