I finally heard that the doctor was going to talk to the insurance company Friday. He has been sick and behind on surgeries and hasn't been able to reach the right person to talk to. He feels confident that after he talks to them they will approve it. I should find out something today. I have called to see, but I am waiting on the call back since was busy at the time. If it is still a no go, I will go for the fusion. I am tired of the pain. I haven't studied the fusion surgeries too much. Isn't the recovery longer and will I have to go back and have more fusions? I have heard that once you get one it loads up the other discs and causes more problems. I am only 32 and employed as a crude oil pipeline mechanic. I don't want to end my career!!
