Hi Deb,
It's great to see another Canadian posting here. I am in Calgary. I have consulted with Dr.B. It can take a while, but don't worry. They'll get to you. Did you by any chance have any consults in Canada? There is a NS at London HSC who has co-authored at least one research paper with Dr.B. and does ADR. His name is Neil Duggal. It could save you a wad of cash.(Might be a long wait, though...)

We were told by Anita that Prospine ran into server problems and are still waiting for a reply to an email we sent a week and a half ago.

Hi Fortitudine
Nice to meet a fellow Canuck on here!Are you going to Germany?I am very lucky in that my family have been very supportive both emotionally and financially with my decision to seek surgery out-of-country. I saw Dr. David Taylor at LHSC Spine Centre in November. He only does one level and said because I need 2-level, I am not a candidate. He offered me facet injections under fluroscope and narcotics.So now I am a stoned,drooling moron... ![]() Best of luck to you. Deb ![]()

I am so relieved as I spoke with Anita this morning. She put both myself and hubby at ease that we made the right decision to look to Pro-Spine to "fix" my back.

This past week has been especially tough for me. I am a very optimistic person and have a very high pain tolerance.Between a chronic pain level of 7 - 8 (that's with Demerol,Flexeril and Amitriptyline) and the stress caused by Comp cutting my temporary total disability benefits off last October,I lost hope and for the first time,I was sinking into a depression. Speaking to Anita relieved a lot of stress and anxiety and I seem to have regained my optimism.I very much appreciate the support on this forum and I don't feel alone in this journey anymore.
![]() Can those of you who have gone to Germany tell me about your experiences, ie.flights,accomodations,hospitalization,etc?
