Thanks to everyone who responded. We are both nervous about tomorrow and have done a ton of "homework" to be prepared.

Here's my info: I have a tear at L5/S1 and may also have another tear at L3/L4. I've been hurting since I was 9 (trampoline injury caused trama; DDD and later herination) and have had significant problems since a MVA (caused tear) last year. The pain generator is L5/S1. I cannot walk very far anymore because my leg's buckle and must use a cane. My EMG is normal. Discogram shows tear at L5/S1, adnormal (DDD) L5/L4 but no pain only pressure and a possible tear at L3/L4 with no pain only pressure. I had a failed IDET at L5/S1 in 2003. I am now 25 and want to move on with my life.

My doctor here in VA is a big fusion guy and is very negative on ADR. From what I've read and from my tests etc. I am a very good candiate for ADR at L5/S1.

Thanks again to everyone,
