Titan Fusion
Thanks for all of your replies guys. And Harrison about the information on Sternum. I am thankful to have found this sight.
I am struggling with making the right decision with surgery. And, my hope in having any surgery, is that it is successful and to stop my suffering. I try not to think about how long this problem has been present in my life, and how its currently effecting me daily, and forcus on research. But, I'd be lying if i said its overwhelming and frustrating.
Can anyone share their experience with hybrid. Titan fusion at L5-S1, ADR at L4-L5. Its my understanding Titan fusions are fairly new, so there may not be many of you guys out there. My hope is that insurance would absorb most of the cost and I could get it done here in the US.
Thanks for all the support!!!
