My surgery is c4-5 / c6-7 adr and hopefully remove fusion plate at c5-6 that is causing scar tissue in esophagus and swallowing problems since last fusion surgery. also l5-s1 Adr or fusion ? / l4-5 and l2-3 ?. I will be at Bierstedts office tomorrow morning for more testing and Eval on lumbar issue,s as we need more results here to determine what route he wants to take. In my situation he and I felt that we needed to do further eval once getting over here in Germany.
You wouldn't buy a new car without test driving it first would ya.!!!!
