Got a yes on the Zyre with ADR
Tim Vicknair with Dr. Bertagnoli's office sent me the following today:
"The short answer is most definitely yes, the Zyre implant is used when doing ADR surgery or in facet surgery alone or as a follow-up surgery to ADR surgery. As you probably know, loss of disc height telescopes the facets and often causes damage to the facet joint."
Sounds hopeful, but I wouldn't want to influence anyone to get adr, or not to. I personally will do kinesiological testing (muscle testing) or other intuitive testing on therapies from now on to see whether they are safe for me. Such testing has given me great answers, and I've often gotten hurt by procedures which I did not test in that way ahead of time.
