Hello-Considering Lumbar ADR
Hello to everyone;
My Lumbar issues started a few years back.I have tried all the conservative methods with no relief.My pain has got to a point it effects every part of my Life  .Everyday is a struggle to manage thru.I recently had a Diskogram  that confirmed L4-5 and L5S-1 as the culprits.In July I traveled to Texas to see a Specialist in ADR.He has proposed ADR at 4-5 and Fusion at 5-S1.Lucky enough I have Health Insurance with one of the few that cover it.At this point Surgery is scheduled for September 28.Though I'm still researching like crazy trying to make a a final decision.  I'm thankful that there are sites like this that give us the power to make informed decisions.
