Not much time.....
I know time is short, but if at all possible, please consider getting at least one more opinion.
Not sure if you live in an area where a doctor with a well rounded background (including ADR experience) exists, but in my opinion it's worth the effort.
You just want to make sure you don't burn any bridges should the day come that you need ADR and something done now might (I'm yelling MIGHT) prevent your candidacy for ADR.
Could be that the procedure you are scheduled to have is just the thing you need.......I'm just suggesting having one more pair of eyes look at your case.
This is only my opinion; I'm not a doctor, just a veteran of the spinal wars.
God Bless,
Jeff
