Dr. Fessler
Well I am going to get to see Dr. Fessler. He requires that you send your reports and looks at them and approves your appointment. I am hoping he saw something that might be fixed in my thoracic area. He seems like a great guy from emails and he is doing some great things with paralysed people. He just did the second neck surgury on Peyton Manning of the Colts, he also did the first. Only bad thing is it takes 3 months to get in to see him, and of course I have things going on now. A year ago I had all the free time in the world, damn my procrastination. Looking forward to talking to him.
PS. Regardless of what most Dr. say, I think some smorls nodes cause pain. If there is nerves in the disc and the disc herniates into the endplate, it just seems that there would be some inflammatory process that might go on. I have several in lower thoracic. Been doing some searching on the internet. Some interesting thoracic studies done here. emedicine.medscape.com/article/96284-overview

Aaron,
The wheels of spinal medicine turn slowly for everyone. I think 3 months is a standard amount of waiting time for an appointment with a top surgeon. Understandably they are busy people but when you are in pain, 3 months can seem like an eternity. For multiple opinions, time moves slowly. Regardless, I hope he can help. Good luck, Dale

I don't know Fessler and I've never communicated with him, but I've read many good things about him. His friends (surgeons) tell that he is really one of the world leaders in less invasive spinal surgery.
Recently he operated Higuain, football player that plays for Real Madrid.
