Kathy,

I'm sorry that you find yourself in such a state. You case sounds much like mine. I thought I had permanent nerve damage and did not expect ANY relief from my leg pain. My 2-level L4-S1 Charite' was supposed to help only my back pain, but I got 95% relief from the horrible leg pain that I thought was permanent.

You are looking for the best surgery and best surgeon. Close to home should be of little concern. Unfortnuately, insurance and reimbursements issues may drive the process in an inappropriate manner.

Welcome to the forum... talk to you soon....

Mark
