Thank you if i could do some damage to the Neurosurgeon that told me my two fusions was my only option I would make them feel my pain

I too was rushed in with out given different option fusion was the worst thing I ever done I agree , there is different options to explore adr or even one called Mr Minit lol believe it or not so less intrusive and out of hospital sooner my surgeon didn’t believe in these this has left me in pain , I’ve had 2 fusions in 4 years second one didn’t work looks like I’m going to need a third all I can say is ask questions lots of questions

ESP ADR is the best solution, until DiscGenics (i.e. Disc Regeneration) will come up in the market
