The research is endless. I had no idea how many surgeries are performed in foreign countries on US citizens. However it does make sense with all of the lawsuits here.
Dingie, you have to be so relieved just to have made a decision and have an OR date.
I am waiting on Dr Clavel to review my MRI. After reading that Dr B does not respond as well post-op, I have concerns with him doing the surgery. Further, I was not aware that the prodisc was nickel. I too have had an allergic reaction to a nickel crown which ultimately had to be removed. That was fun.
Has anyone had any treatments with the Laser Spine Institute?
