Actually, originally the doc wanted to do a double fusion C4 and , then C 6 and7)and place a single (C5 and 6) ADR in between the 2 fusions. Not quite what I hoped for. After we talked a bit, he agreed that caring for the two disks that are causing me the most problems was the right way to go. It seems that there are endplate changes on C 4 to C7, there is disk height loss at C 5, 6 and 7. with central stenosis and flattening on the GHT. Lot more info, but I m going wait to get a copy of the latest report before typing it out.
But he (the doc) also made it sound like they could do multiple ADR's in other states. I checked with the FDA his AM and Liz is correct, not here, not the US.
At any rate, it sounds like I may need to head overseas to get all of these disks repaired. I contacted Stenm Hospital this afternoon and I may try the one in India, if I can't get the insurance to cover any of this cost.
I had been OK, but my OXCod ran out two weeks ago and I am still waiting for the refills While they should be here by Friday, I didn't realize who much they hid the pain. I had my 7th Epidermal (in 3 years) on Friday, hoping that might help, but it hasn't and massive does of over the counter stuff doesn't help much at all. So, it is time (after 20 years) to do something about this. I would like to sleep laying down again before I leave this place. I haven't been able to do that with out 8 or 9 oxcod for years. And the Nuro doc tells me that the longer I stay on these pain pills the more likely I will still hve problems after getting my back fixed.
