janaya -

i am indeed allergic to nickel, and looked into the out of pocket cost for a TLIF. it was in the 6 figures. prodisc does contain a small amnt of nickel, and i've been advised not to get it. gotta get all of this in writing to construct my appeal. looks like i'll be paying cash for an M6 and hoping i get something back either from aetna or my personal injury suit from the mva...
