I would definitely at the minimum, get a second opinion. I would do research on here and the internet and find the best ADR and fusion dr you can and see them. When it comes to a surgery like this, you need to make sure you do everything you can for a positive outcome, including research. I figure, at least that way, you know you have done everything possible to make the best decision you can. From what I understand, the surgeon is one of the most important factors to a successful outcome. Also, you want to make sure you are a good canidate and have the right surgery. Just my opinion, hope it helps.... I'll get off the soapbox now, Kathy
