Default New here!

Hey just signed up and it looks like a great site for information. I have been trying to find some. I'm in Canada and only know of 2 doctors doing these operations One in Calgary where I just moved from and another one in London. Seen the one in london 2 years ago and he told me that there is nothing he could do because I have 2 discs in a row affected by the DDD.

I am effected at L5,S1 and L5,L4. Just had another MRI which revealed a buldged disk in my upper back/lower neck area (forget which one). I inquired about stem cell therapy and the response back to me said they would be willing to try the stem cell therapy on me but I may want to explore the double ADR offered in Germany.

I figure I have decent medical insurance in Ontario but I doubt they would send me to the US for stem cell therapy or Germany for a double ADR. Any one familiar with the help available in canada?

Sent a PM last week but haven't heard back, maybe someone else knows of someone in Ontario Canada who had treatment in the US?
