Default New to ADR Support

Hi All,

I'm a new member to ADR Support, but have read many articles already.
This is a Great site for lots of great information. Thanks so much to everyone that posts here.

Ok, so you've convinced me that Stenum is probably not where I want to go for ADR. I pretty much have my mind made up that the Spinal Kinetics M6-L is the ADR device I'd prefer because I'm a mountain biker and take some really rough trials. Also love SCUBA and hiking. Although am limited on what I can do. Life is kind of like those two fish living in a blender --- Just waiting for some to turn it on and turn me in to ground round. I hate this back problem. Anyway, does anyone know excellent doctors that'll do a three level ADR with the M6-L? My bad levels are L3-4, L4-5 and L5-S1. I'm totally not a candidate for USA surgeries because of the three levels and because I've already had two procedures in the past.

Any help would be great.


Thanks Much.

Back problems since late 1989 but medical technology wasn't ready for me yet.
Then...
July 2003 - LED/IDET at L3-4, L4-5, L5-S1
Sept 2008 - laminectomy/discectomy at L4-5
May 2012 - 3 level M6-L ADR with Dr. Clavel in Barcelona.
Neck problems began Aug 2006 carnival ride ruptured two discs. At the time I
probably didn't notice due to chronic back pain but now losing use of right
arm. MRI shows the problem clearly.
Clavel will replace C5-6, C6-7 on Sept 10 2014.
