Hey Hucky
Hey Hucky,
Thanks for the reply. That would be very much appreciated if you could get the name of the neuro in SA. I have contacted at least 50 surgeons in Aus so far and none are willing to look at removing the disc. I am happy to travel anywhere to get the best treatment as a life in pain is not my idea of fun. Hopefully I can have it in Aus and I still have a few surgeons to wait for a reply from but it doesnt look great. The problem is more to do with them having not done it before and I really dont wamt to be there first. I think it would be better to have someone experienced with it so I hopefully get a good result.
I hope you have a better experience than mine. Dont let mine put you off, just understand the dangers if it doesnt work. Have you seen my scans from earlier in the post? Failures can also happen with fusion as well which is the scary thing. Good luck with your choice.
Thanks,
Mark
