Mark, the End Stage Facets
were pre-ADR!! The comments were made on at that time, an 18 month old MRI scan (25.02.05). I did have another MRI & xrays last September but these films are missing & I have no report on them either. I really don't understand it
I went in & had ADR not knowing about having End Stage Facet's or what they are (still don't really know?), the only thing I'd been told in Feb 05 was the info about an annular tear in my L5/S1 with degeneration & "some" facet arthritis.
So now what
I see the new Neurosurgeon on Tuesday so will ask his opinion but from what I can make of it, I was
never a candidate for ADR!! I was lead to believe I was & in one of the letters here the surgeon states I'm an excellent candidate!?!
Talk about confused!! Maybe this is another reason for me being in the 5% of being worse post-op & not being able to get in touch with the surgeon any more? I told my GP today that I feel that because I'm not good for his statistics that is why I have been forgotten
