Well, after really considering all of the struggles I've read from people on this message board about insurance coverage and having to take out massive loans just to alleviate their pain, I decided to do this. I talked with LDR and told them my story, and they are going to let me know what the next steps are.
I did consider the fact that I am only 4 months post-op and I may still have complications at some point down the road. But if this marketing can make a difference for just one person, I think it's worth it. Sometimes I feel like I need a "Ms ADR" sash or an "ask me about ADR before fusion" shirt so I can spread the word to those people who feel like fusion is their only option.
