Sorry to hear about your pain. You are extremely lucky to be able to live in the same city as the best ADR surgeon in the world. I wish I lived there, as I need to have my lumbar done now. Like the others that have replied, I have talked with a bunch of dr's and after talking with Dr Clavel, it is a very easy decision to make regarding surgery. No question I made the right choice going to him, and I will be going back in the near future. Once you meet him on friday, you will understand. Good luck
