Phil, welcome to the board (although, it looks like you registered some time ago). Have you had local diagnostic assessments from any NY spine doctors? How did you end up with a possible treatment plan in the UK?
Many folks here have had similar procedures; they may or may not check in to say "hello." I hope we can help you and provide support.

Phil, welcome to the board. Could you tell us a little more about yourself, your condition, past treatments for your condition, your age even. All of these things will help us help you better. Welcome to the board!
