I had an appointment with my surgeon today, and things went well. He said that he thinks that I would be a good candidate for an ADR. Also, he is going to contact some doctors that he knows at the Texas Back Institute to do some research for me on which doctors are doing ADR surgeries, how many they have done, what the average results were, and if they are running any clinical trials. I am so thankful that he is going to support me in my decision. Hopefully all will go well with the wc "powers to be". Thanks so much to all of you. Between the research that I did, and the multitude of information that I learned through this forum, I really felt more comfortable in deciding to go forward with this surgery and with discussing the subject with my doctor. Oh yea, he gave me a new pain medicine to try. Has anyone taken Ultram ER?
