Well, not only am I a candidate for ADR (2 surgeons suggested ADR or Interbody Fusion) but I am also approved for ADR by my NJ WC insurance company.
Now it's time for scheduling (about mid october) I'm feeling all kinds of feelings: scared, excited, unsure, etc. But in the end, I can't live with the existing pain that I'm experiencing - even though I am able to get up, walk around, drive, go away, etc. it's not comfortable as I feel constant pain and it has changed my lifestyle to a snails pace. Thanks for all of the info here.
