Default no more fusion for me

i have had stand alone peek cage at c 3/4 bone graft with plate and screws at c 4/5 5/6 and trust me when i say it will lead to more ddd. if i could go to europe, brazil, or india i would not hesitate. i just don't have 43,000 usd to do it. where am i going to get that king of money? bur fusion has failed me. the only reason doctors here still do it it is one insurance will not pay for multi level adr because the fda has not yet approved it and two the doctors would have to retrain. time out is money lost. i may be totally wrong, but after what i have been through and researched, that is merely how i feel. i can't even type well anymore, thus the reason for lower case
