Sadly I have to agree with this part. (not the no ADR part).
Unfortunately I have this creeping feeling also. But I do know one thing: There ARE some doctors who truly care that implant ADRs and feel good about it. They are hard to find.

I personally am at a struggle as to how many ADRs I would allow into my cervical spine. One doctor thinks I might need 4 (!!) I am not so sure I want to go there. I get the feeling one should not get more then 2 no matter what. This is my current "IMHO", today, meds and all. I might change my mind tomorrow, depending on pain level
