Default Thx

Well, I'm very pleased with dr b's efforts thus far. Dr Regan's deal is simply tough to beat, I guess cause insurance is covering the fusion part. Even if dr b was able to go from $18k to $10k, I still feel I need a local doctor to follow up with in case problems develop. Also, I've since learned that radiology facilities require a us based prescription for x rays and mri's etc. Dr Regan is well qualified and it's easier to go see him if post op issues occur.


Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

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.
