Yes, hedging bets and trying to understand.

CES is very rare. But it seems to me that if the DDD-driven disc squashing/hence the lateral pressure on the CES - would this cause CES syndrome. (This w/ask surgeon).

I also wonder if a disectomy vs. fusion/ADR is also one way to go. I'll ask my surgical consult this on Wednesday. Hence, would draining the disc of fluid be wise or incredibly stupid?

Appreciate your input and be well.

Brr in LA.
