I am a patient of Dr. Yue and he could not perform my surgery due to FDA and forwarded my imformation to Dr. Bertnagoli. I cannot say enough about both doctors.
I too was back to work part time 6 weeks, fulltime 11 weeks. My outcome was great in the beginning and I always have had numbness in the left thigh since day one.
This numbness after about 3 months turned into pain which gradually overtime has gotten worst. I have now been diagnosed with arachnoditis which there is nothing they can do for but either a spinal chord stimulator or pain management. Still I am at least 60% better than prior to surgery and would do it again. They feel the first doctor in the states that performed my surgery one year prior to ADR did the damage. Did he who knows needless to say I have it and it will never go away.
I can do most of the things I want to do but I may pay for it with higher pains the next day.
I have the upmost respect for both Dr. Yue and Dr. Bertnagoli and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Judy
