Sylvia,

Mark may move this to it's own thread.

Yes, more than one can be done... I had three lumbar and I've heard of someone with 5.

Dr. Bertagnoli, in Germany, has more multi-level experience which is very necessary. The cost, including airfare and hotels, etc. is about half that of the U.S. I know nothing about Thailand????

Everyone heals at different rates with or without surgically induced distraction problems. The first 2 days are rough and then it starts to get better. I'm talking about lumber ADRs. Cervicals are easier since they don't involve your entire digestive tract. You're doctor should discuss all of your concerns with you.

I suggest you also do your own research regarding your condition, possible corrective surgeries or therapies and possible complications. Knowledge is power and you want to be involved is this process.

Good luck, Dale
