Just found out I have two separated disc tears rather than one immediately disqualified me from entering the ADR Kineflex vs. Charite study in Sarasota. This is news to me, and a sign that the DDD must be getting a bit worse. Now 2 levels would have to be considered for ADR? That's what they say. Wonder if Dr. Garcia and/or Blumenthal will feel the same way, too once/if the insurance approves the procedure?

I"m very sorry to hear this. I take it you have tears at two levels now.
When I see your name I think of Jay Ferguson, the lead singer of a sixties band called Spirit (first jazz/rock fusion). Hang in there! - ans

Sorry to hear this. I was disqualified from a Prodisc Clinical Trial due to osteoporosis. I was upset at the time but now know that the surgeons couldnt' have handled it and it would have been a disaster if I had the surgery done.
