JB.
It's time for another opinion. Two heavy hitters in Beverly Hills, not too far from you are Dr. Regan or Dr. Delamarter. Both are well versed in ADRs and if appropriate, are likely to recommend it.
Many people believe their doctors are great and though that may be true, another truth is that doctors are not likely to recommend a procedure they don't perform themselves. Currently I'm battling a friend whose doctor recommended a 3 level lumbar fusion. Thank goodness the ins company denied coverage or she would have already had this done.
When you have a confirmed diagnosis and similar recommendations from 3 doctors, then you know your doctor was correct. If you get differing opinions, you have to decide which doctor/procedure is best for you which you can only do with your own knowledge base. Learn as much as you can about your condition and various treatments before deciding on what comes next.
Good luck, Dale
