Default Texas Back...

Hi All
I am at that point to go and see some of the heavy hitters,my condition is getting bad and I have had it going for a new MRI next week ans sending all my information to the Texas Back Dr Guryer
Does anyone have experience with him or TBI and if so what was your experience and Surgicial outcome?
I would possibly need to fuse L5-S1,L4-L5 and ADR at L3-L4

Thank You All
Gil

I've only heard - mostly good but big egos too? Any chance of a single fusion and double adr?

Hi Dale

Yes I could possibly need only two levels and maybe two ADR who knows?

I know most Doctor have an ego just too cool

Thanks

Just be very careful not to fail their 600 question psyche test. If they think you are depressed they won't treat you. And yes their egos are huge!

9/22/09 -Dr B opened me up to find a staph infection was eating my vertebrae causing ADR subsidence. Had to remove all 3 ADR's and convert to 3 level fusion. Mostly pain free 2 weeks post op.

9/20/10 - I think I jinxed myself. As soon as I told dr b and dr Sullivan I was doing well (on 6/1/10) I tanked and have experienced the return of pain. My neuro says the new pain is at t4.
