Jeff,
I really appreciate your advice on this matter. I would really like to have the adr surgery opposed to the fusion, but after fighting with the insurance company for months now I feel its time to have something done. I have disabling pain in my right leg and back, along with extreme numbness. I drag my right leg and feel like im not going to be able to walk at times. I had a work related injury and am 22 years old. I have a 14 month old daughter and not being able to do things with her is taking a major tole on my mind. The things I used to take for granted are extremely difficult(walking, sitting, standing). What are the outcomes after the adr surgery? What kind of restrictions are you faced with? I worked a very hard manual labor job and am scared im not going to be able to return to it.
