Im glad you found someone to help you, is he not too far away? It is very frustrating when you travel a long way and pay a lot of money to see someone just to get told they dont want to operate on you.
It is the worst position ever to be in pain trapesing around the place tryng to find someone compassionate to your concerns,meanwhile symptoms worsening.
You have done a good job seeking the varied opinions that you needed.
Out of curiosity was thier much variation in the type of fusion they would perform?
I have been recommended Alif,Plif and Tlif. I think I will go with a Plif as I realy want lordotic cages for L5/s1.
Keep us posted on your progress.
Michelle.
