Michele, I'm so sorry that you have been unable to get to a solution. I've seen too many cases in which people who were told that they don't have a chance... actually get a surgery that is very effective. (I don't want to make you think that it's always true... but for the most part, I've seen good success from the surgeons who really take their time with the diagnosis and proceed carefully.) Read about Lorna (on iSpine)... her transformation was amazing. Also look at JackH in the patient stories on the GPN site (linked in my signature file.)

Lynette, Hope and Michelle... Someday, I hope to hear great news from all of you.

All the best,

Mark
