DR thanks for the response. I have read many WEB sites from Dr.'s as well as Chiro's, PT's and potential patients. Everyone has a different view. Even Laser Spine Institutes Marketing machine say's most Tears heal on there own.
I did read many times that Fusion and ADR is the only "fix". However my Surgeon who has done my fusions, ADR removal and ADR says if needed he would only need to remove part of the disc. Mark's view is a disectomy could be a solution as well.
So many mixed messages.My feeling is only time will tell for each individual case.
You have a (2) level lumbar fusion? How is your pain level and range of motion? Was recovery tough? How close to "normal" do you feel?
I really appreciate the feedback. Back / neck problems are terrible.
