Karen,
I'm 45 years old, and had ADR surgery 5 weeks ago. The diagnosis for me was L4-5 and L5-S1, with the lower being worse. My surgeon felt we could get away with doing only L5-S1. 1 week after surgery an X-Ray was taken, and the visual was astounding. The curvature of my spine had returned to normal, and this has given me great hope. When the nurse had me walk a little, several hours after the surgery, the pain in my lower back was gone. Hang in there!

Thank you for the encouragement "cjgalli". I have been sitting here thinking about what it is going to be like over the next few weeks and your note has helped me focus more on the outcome than the actual surgery.
Karen

Paulette,
I posted a short note in the Arthroplasty Central discussion area if you're interested. Thank you for the prayers... Karen
