Update
Hi all
I cannot afford to go out of country for surgery Not winning the lottery at least not yet
My surgeon has just called me and suggested a four level dynamic stablization DSS at four levels removing the coflex implants or leaving them in and fusing the L4 to S1 My concern is what keeps the damaged disc from continuing to degenerate and what holds the spine in place ?
Will let you know what happens better than a spinal cord stimulator ??
