Greeting from a Newby
Hello Everyone
My name's Steve - a 49 year old web designer from London, UK, and am very pleased to be part of this forum which is proving to be a lot more useful than some of the many doctors and therapists I have seen over the last few years! It saddens me to read some of the posts on here, and the terrible pain that a lot of people are going through. I really hope that there is some light at the end of the tunnel for each and everyone of you. My own back problems seem minor compared to some of you, but without doubt they have significantly affected my health, my work, and my capacity to enjoy life. I hope I will get to know some of you a little better - in the meantime good luck with your journey, and speak soon Steve

SDM,
From reading these posts, there are a number of excellent surgeons in the UK who perform ADR. I've heard that there is one within a half hour drive of Heathrow Airport. Mr. Dare in Southampton comes up quite a bit on these boards. There is another U.K. member by the name of WalterWhite who is on these boards regularly. He recently had ADR. Good luck!! Gene
