Lumbar ADR in good ole North Carolina
I think I have found one with experience. The bad news is that I call my family practice doc to give me a referral. After a week The lady in the office that does this said "I'm just covered up and hadn't had time" Unless she has started when I call tomorrow, I'm saying forget it. Dr Wilson, my pain management doc has a offered to right one in the past.
Something about possibly seeing an end in sight after 4 years has gotten me fired up to get it done. Impatience is showing its ugly head. The surgeon is in NC and does lumbar disc replacement.
