welcome to the forum. being so close to NYC you may want to look up a surgeon Dr. Bitan hes a awesome surgeon and has done off label surgerys using the charite 2{aka} 2 levels
and is pobbiley the best charite surgeon here in the usa.
i'm sure mark can point you to some others here in the states.
myself if any way possible would get myself and my films off to a Dr. R. Bertagnoli in Germany imo hes the best spine surgeon in the world.
and with adr you could get back to school in 6 weeks or less.
i surely hope your pain levels drop for you. remember take it easy god has only given you one back so it needs to last you a life time.
best wishes
chuck
