Adrienne, Did they do a facet block on you? I have mild arthritis in facet joints. Many will still do ADR is there is mild problem with facets. The facet block is the only way they will be able to really pinpoint this. I've dealt with Kaiser for years and have finally gotten much of the drill down. A lawyer taught me a lot. They tend to start moving when they get other letters from big docs (mine from UCSF). Just because they turned you down doesn't mean it's over....I'd go to someone else, maybe someone at UCSF, get their opinion. If they say ok for ADR have them write a big letter to Kaiser. This is how I've gotten what I need at Kaiser. The Squeaky wheel gets the grease at Kaiser.
