Default It would appear things have changed..

I had a follow up with my doctor today. After comparing notes with the pain management doctor that did the discogram, they feel both levels, L4-L5 and L5-S1, are causing problems.

He is recommending a fusion at both levels with the Medtronic Peek Rods?

I have also consulted Dr. Gerardi (sp) in regards to the Active-L clinical and am awaiting a response. However, that may now be mute since we have a 2 level problem.

I need to get this taken care of and would love some input from Mark and others. I'm kinda floored at this point!!

8/01/2008 L4-S1 Posterior Spinal fusion only, using the PEEK ROD system. No Vertebral spacer and disc is still there. So is the pain!!!!

4 More weeks of PT and things are worse now than before.
I must train again.
