I went to Dr. Clavel, in Barcelona, and you cannot schedule surgery with him until he has reviewed your files and has talked to you face to face as it were, on Skype. There is a charge for this, 180 euros if I remember correctly, but it will be applied to surgery if you go with him. Are you saying that you are to old for ADR surgery or spine surgery in general? If that is the case, that is too bad as I am sure that it hurts just as bad and you would still like to have movement in your neck. Best of luck and keep us posted.
