Could it be because it is a 3 level ADR?
Is prodisc not approved for 3 levels in the US yet?
Excuse me for being uninformed, but maybe that is part of it.
I guess some people think we are volunteering to be guinea pigs before all the studies have been done and confirmed that more than 2 levels is safe and replicatable.
There is always going to be huge risks envolved when dealing with cutting edge medicine especially where the spine is concerned.
With ADR we are all pioneers of relatively unchartered territory.
But when you are in constant pain, dont have a life and suicide sometimes seems like a good option, sometimes we are willing to take this risk especially when we see it has worked for others.
It is easy for others to think you have made a stupid mistake, but have they ever had a spinal injury and been in your position?
Im sad Steve that you were one it didnt work for but I think there is still hope and you will be helped soon.
Michelle.
